The secretary of the Carmelite Family for the Americas organized a retreat for the Carmelite laity with the theme: "The Lay Carmelite in search of holiness". This retreat was held from November 18-20 at the Convento do Carmo in Sao Paulo, with the presence of Carmelite Tertiaries belonging to the Province of Rio and the Commissariat of Parana.
It was a moment of grace, where the brothers and sisters of the Third Order learned more about the vocation of the lay Carmelite, committing themselves to continue with these meetings-retreats to learn more about the Carmelite charism.
