First Vows in Timor-Leste

Our 3 novices, Brs Constantino Barreto Amaral, Moises Soares and Manuel Xavier Gonzaga, made their first profession of vows as Carmelites on 14 December. They made their vows at Mass in Hera, Timor-Leste at the end of their Novitiate year. Fr Carlito da Costa Araújo, Provincial Delegate for Timor-Leste, received their vows in place of Fr Paul Cahill (Prior Provincial) who was unable to travel to Timor due to COVID restrictions. Constantino, Moises and Manuel join our 29 other brothers in first vows. The total number of those in formation is now 37. Congratulations, Brothers!

Carmelite Rule

A rule of life was given to the early Carmelites by St Albert Avogadro, Patriach of Jerusalem between the years 1206 - 1214. It was finally approved by Pope Innocent in 1247 and later underwent mitigations which were not in the original text.

The Carmelite Rule states that is basic for a Carmelite to "live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of his Master" [no.2].

Safeguarding

The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste are committed to the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and mistreatment.
