Annual General Meeting 2024

12-13 June 2024

 

The Carmelite Friars of the Province of Saint Elias gathered in the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Center and Church in Middletown, New York, for its Annual General Meeting (AGM) traditionally held during the second week of June each year. For some forty years, the friars have met for two days of fraternity, discussion, planning, ongoing formation and celebration, always seeking to enhance the level of brotherhood in the Province, as well as providing opportunities to deepen the commitment of the friars to the mission and vision of the Province, and strengthen our Carmelite vocation. This year the Province studied together our new Policies for Safeguarding in Ministry, reviewed the report of the canonical visitation of the Province from the General Council, planned for vocations and the upcoming Provincial Chapter, and shared together on the topic of healing among the survivors of sexual abuse. On Wednesday, our Jubilarians offered the Mass and on Thursday our newly ordained priest and deacon led the liturgy. There was a lovely Jubilee banquet on Tuesday, and many opportunities for renewing and strengthening our Carmelite life. Enjoy some of the photos of this event. We are very grateful to all of the friars and our collaborators who worked so hard to prepare this annual gathering.
