Congratulations to 5 Carmelites who graduated on 26 April with degrees in Theology and Philosophy.

36 Friars, Lay Carmelites and representatives of our ministries in Australia and Timor-Leste gathered in Melbourne this week for a Provincial Assembly. 

We are still on the Easter journey. After the three day roller-coaster of emotions - from Jesus’ supper with his disciples, through trial and crucifixion, to the wonder of the women at the empty tomb - we now prepare ourselves to celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Friars, Lay Carmelites and representatives of our ministries in Australia and Timor-Leste will gather in Melbourne from 22 to 26 April for a Provincial Assembly.

The Fourth Sunday of Easter is often called “Good Shepherd Sunday” because the Gospel always focusses on the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd.

Since 2022 the Carmelites of Sacred Heart Church at Kayutangan, Malang, Indonesia, have welcomed Muslims for Eid prayers.

“Peace be with you” - so important are these words of Jesus that we hear them three times in the Gospel.

The Gospel of each Sunday of Easter is a meditation on Jesus as: the resurrected Christ.
