Triennial Chapter of the Carmelite Nuns of Santa Ignacia (Tarlac), Philippines
The Elective Chapter of the Carmelite Monastery of Mater Carmeli in Santa Ignacia (Tarlac), Philippines was held on October 24, 2024. Due to the death of the Bishop of Tarlac, the prior provincial of the Philippine Province of St. Titus Brandsma, V. Rev. Rico Ponce, O. Carm., presided.
The monastery was founded on December 7, 2001 by seven nuns from the Carmelite monastery of the Holy Family in Guiguinto, inspired by the 750th anniversary of the Scapular. Among several possible locations for a monastery, founding Carmel in Sta. Ignacia seemed the best suited for a cloistered life of prayer, sacrifice and contemplation.
The monastery belongs to the Stella Maris Federation.
