Lay Carmelites are part of the Family of Carmel – hermits, nuns, sisters and friars. They are involved in the mission of the Church to contribute to the sanctification of the world by living the Carmelite Charism according to one’s particular state in life. The Lay Carmelite lives this spirituality after the examples of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Prophet Elijah.
