Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites

Nottingham Community Retreat 2019

The Nottingham group returned to The Claret Centre at Buckden Towers in the pretty villlage of Buckden near St Neots in August for the annual weekend retreat.

What Carmelite Life Means to Me

Reflections on joining Carmel and what the Carmelite life involves from local members

The Promises.

Committing our lives to God through the promise “to live in the spirit of the Evangelical Counsels and the Beatitudes” doesn’t add anything to our baptism – it’s the way to live them fully

Desert Spirituality

The desert is a place where God is met & speaks to us and a place of struggle with all the things that prevent our surrender to God in love

Our Communities

In the Nottingham Diocese there are two closely linked but autonomous communities of Secular Carmelites.

Carmelite Reading Groups

We run Carmelite Reading groups at Beeston, Bulwell and Lincoln. Why not come and join us?
