Carmel Around
the World Today
The Carmelite
Order has its headquarters, or Curia, in Rome. Here, the Prior General lives
and works with his General Council to oversee the running of the Order. The
world is divided into Provinces (such as the Irish Province) which covers a
particular geographical area. Each Province is independent and is headed by
a Prior Provincial. Areas which have not been raised to the status of
Province are known as General Commissariates and General Delegations,
depending on size. In time, as they grow in numbers and strength, these too
will become Provinces. Each Province holds a Chapter every three years to
elect its new officials and set out its vision for the coming three years.
The General Chapters, at which the Prior General and his Council are
elected, take place every six years and are attended by the heads of the
Provinces, Commissariates and Delegations along with elected delegates from
each.

made up of the following Provinces, General Commissariates (^) and General
