The Carmelites in Ireland Today
The Carmelites have care of three parishes in Dublin city - Whitefriar
Street, Knocklyon and Beaumont. In County Kilkenny we also have a parish at
Ballyhale which is served by the community at Knocktopher.
To our churches in Kinsale, Knocktopher, Kildare, and Moate many come to
share our celebrations of the Eucharist and other forms of public worship.
The churches are open for visits to the Blessed Sacrament and personal
prayer.
Irish Carmelites are committed to education at all levels. This commitment
is vibrant in our schools in Whitefriar Street and Terenure College and also
in Zimbabwe. Carmelites are also members of the teaching staff at the Milltown
Institute of Theology and Philosophy in Dublin. In all of this work we aim
to give a particular vision of life which is both Christian and Carmelite.
The social well-being of people is of great concern to us all. In all our
houses we take every opportunity to care for this need, through hospitality,
organising clubs, pastoral visitation and arranging courses and seminars.
In all we have
nine foundations in Ireland today and people are welcome to visit them
for prayer in our churches, for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to take
part in retreats and courses that we run, or for a quiet chat.
