MOUNT HOLLY — The Our Lady of Mount Carmel Charlotte Community of Discalced Secular Carmelites visited St. Joseph College Seminary Feb. 19.
The seminary’s rector, Father Matthew Kauth, gave the group a tour, and Father Timothy Reid, the community’s spiritual assistant, explained the group’s charism to the college seminarians.
The group prays daily for the priests and seminarians of the Diocese of Charlotte, praying for each man by name.
Seminarians were given specially made chaplets for prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus made by the Carmelites, as a Carmelite saint and Doctor of the Church, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, had a great devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.
The community meets every second Saturday of the month at St. Ann Church in Charlotte.
