The Celtic Carmelites live in the tradition of the ancient Celtic Church prior to Roman domination of the British Isles; additionally, we live in the "active/contemplative" spirit of the early Carmelite Brothers and Sisters. To know Jesus is to share Jesus in word and deed. To get to know Jesus requires solitude and intimacy with Him - through reading Sacred Scripture, living a gospel-centered life, participating in the Sacraments, and in contemplation of our Lord in the recesses of our hearts. We seek to share our rich history with others, and, through the Holy Trinity, we endeavor to help heal a very disconnected world.

From the time of Christ through the fourth century, the ancient Celtic Christian communities were isolated from the European influences of power and politics, and therefore enjoyed a love of the Gospel without an agenda. In Celtic theology, the fall of Adam and Eve represented a veil cast between mankind and God, and the consequences described in Genesis 3:14-19 included a spiritual death which could only be restored through the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
