Carmelite Dimension of the College's Spirituality
As you are aware, the land that College is built on comes from the Carmelites, who are next door to us.
Today, the College celebrated the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It commemorates when Mary appeared to St Simon at Mount Carmel, Israel, in the mid-13th Century. Our Lady gave him the brown scapular, a symbol that is still worn by Carmelites. This feast is special to us as it's where our College derives its name.
Mount Carmel means God’s garden, and what a garden we have - the hills to the east provide us with a place that is green and peaceful.
Very much like the spirituality of the Carmelites. There are three elements that we will focus upon over the second half of the year - contemplation, community, and service.
Have you missed out on the Sacrament of Confirmation?
There is an opportunity with OLMC Parish to fulfill this. Please contact Mrs Merharg by email next week.
