Through our Support Services, we have the potential to make a real and positive change in the community. This is one of our key areas of focus here at Carmelite Monastery of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, and a source of much success for our Non-Profit Organization. Get in touch with us today and see how you can lend a helping hand with this program.

Teresian Charism

from: A History of Teresian Carmel by Fr. Otilio Rodriguez

What we mean by "charism"? The word is not new: it comes from Greek word "charis" meaning a gift, grace given gratuitously, not deserved, due earned. It implies goal or purpose or mission to fulfill the Church.
