St. Joseph’s Association
of Discalced Carmelite Nuns
The St. Joseph’s Association, erected by the Holy See, is a structure of communion between several autonomous Discalced Carmelite Monasteries so that, in sharing the same charism these associated Monasteries collaborate among themselves according to these Statutes approved by the Holy See. The member Monasteries also promote contemplative life by sharing an affinity of spirit in keeping with the distinct charism of St. Teresa of Jesus.
“all must be friends, all must be loved, all must be held dear, all must be helped.”
—St. Teresa of Avila
