Mission

According to our Statutes, the purpose of the Association is:

to give ecclesial expression to the life of communion in Christ between the member‑Monasteries

It fulfils this by:

• Encouraging each Sister in our living of the Teresian charism as contemplative women in the service of the Church and the world

• Promoting understanding, trust and friendship between the member Monasteries and with all our Carmelite Sisters and Brothers

• Providing a means of communication for sharing ways we live our Teresian Carmelite life in the context of our times and particular cultures

• Facilitating mutual assistance among the Monasteries in whatever way is needed, particularly formation

• Enabling an effective voice in communicating with the Holy See, our Carmelite Superiors and secular bodies
