Spiritual Enrichment

The Main Office often receives requests from OCDS communities and other Carmelite/Catholic organizations to advertise programs, retreats, pilgrimages, etc. – virtual or otherwise. We do not have the time to vet each of these groups nor the offerings, so have decided to simply provide links to these resources.

USE AT YOUR DISCRETION.

Disclaimer: Posting of a link does not constitute or imply, in any way, an endorsement of the offering by the Main Office.

If your community would like to advertise an upcoming event, please click here to contact the Main Office a month in advance.
All requests for posting are subject to approval by the Provincial Delegate.
