The Carmelite Order began with hermits on Mount Carmel and then due to historical circumstances moved away to become mendicants. However, the eremetical vocation remained as part of their story so that in every age we find people called to the eremetical life who know that Carmel is their spiritual home. For that reason, the Carmelite Family includes hermits who all possess the Carmelite charism. Some of these hermits are members of the Order (See Const. 2019, n. 44) and others are affiliated to the Order while being under the authority of the local Bishop.
