Meeting of ALACAR (Association of Carmelites in Latin America)

The second ALACAR congress was held from 20 to 24 October in Villa de Leyva in Colombia. The theme was "Mysticism and prophecy in Carmel". Around 150 people took part from both branches of Carmel (friars, nuns, sisters and laypeople. The speakers were the two Superiors General, Fernando Millan Romeral O. Carm. and Saverio Cannistrà OCD, together with Camilo Maccise OCD and Carlos Mesters O. Carm. and they were joined by Abraham Maximiliano Camino (lay Carmelite) and Sr. Virginia Rosales, Carmelite missionary. The speakers approached the subject from various perspectives and the participants discussed the conferences in groups where they not only analysed what had been said, but made proposals with a view to putting into practice these two essential dimensions of the Carmelite charism.
During the meeting there was also a pilgrimmage to the shrine of the Virgin of Chiquinquirá where the Prior General presided at a Eucharist.
The next meeting of ALACAR will be in 2012 and will be organised by the executive members of the association, Raúl Maraví, O.Carm., Francisco de Sales Alencar, O.Carm., Marcos Juchem, OCD. and Milton Moulthon, OCD.
Without doubt these meetings represent an iniziative at the forefront of developments in Carmelite life and help in achieving a better understanding of the various elements of the Carmelite Family.

International Triennial Bursars Meeting 19 -24 October, 2009

From 19 to 24 October 2009, provincial bursars, finance directors and business managers, Carmelite and lay, gathered from all over the world in Sassone, Italy, to take part in their triennial meeting under the chairmanship of the Bursar General, Kevin Alban. The meeting had two components: information and formation. There were several useful discussions regarding financial reporting from the provinces to the Curia and many issues were clarified regarding the definition of accounting terms and how to compile the returns. Secondly, several outside speakers made presentations to the group. Frs John Keating and Desiré Unen Alimange, Councillors General for Europe and Africa respectively, informed the group about recent developments in their areas. Fr Helmut Rakowski OFM Cap. spoke about the fraternal economy of solidarity, participation and transparency. Avv. Massimo Merlini outlined the expected changes in law across Europe regarding religious orders and a team from the IOR (the so-called “Vatican Bank”) presented a panorama of the current economic crisis. Finally Jeff Cull, a member of the General Finance Commission, gave a presentation on fund raising in the present environment.

40th anniversary of Provincial Commissariat of Eastern Indonesia

On October 4th 2009 the Provincial Commissariat of Eastern Indonesia celebrated its 40th anniversary. The Carmelite mission began on October 4th 1969 when the Indonesian Province sent three Carmelites (Fr. Frans Sarjono, Fr. Ignazio Widodo, and Br. Jacob Suraji) to take over the very poor parish of “Holy Cross” in Mauloo, Flores. This parish was chosen as a preferential option for the poor. The parish has now grown to six parishes.
Since 28 September 2006 this mission is known as the Commissariat of Eastern Indonesia. At this present time it has a pre-novitiate house (St. Paul), a novitiate house (St. Therese Lisieux), two student houses (St. Dionysius and St. Redemptus), and two retreat houses: St. Elia (in Flores) and St. Yoseph (Bali), and a hermitage on the hill of Kelikeo, Flores.
In Flores our Carmelites are also running schools at Alvarez: a kindergarten, a secondary school, and a high school. 48 Carmelite priests have come from the commissariat, 20 of them are working in the commissariat. Presently there are 2 solemnly professed students, 42 simply professed students, 35 novices, and some postulants. Vocations in this commissariat seem to be flourishing, offering great hope to our Order.

Fernando Millán Romeral, the Prior Provincial of the British Province, Fr. Wilfrid McGreal, the Prior of Aylesford, Fr. Brendan Grady, and a large number of friars. The following day, 10 October, the Archbishop of Southwark, Most Rev. Kevin McDonald presided at an open air Mass at the shrine for some 9,000 people. The Councillor General for Europe, Fr. John Keating, preached at the Mass. During the day it is estimated that some 13,000 people were present to venerate the relics. On Sunday 11 October, the Prior General presided at a Mass with some 5,000 people and in the afternoon the relics departed for the Discalced parish of Kensington in London. At the same time the relics were present, there was also a retreat led by Fr. Robert Colaresi, Fr. Fernando Millán Romeral, Fr. Joseph Chalmers and Fr.

Inauguration of the new formation house of Missionary Family Donum Dei

On the 8th of October last the new house of formation for the Missionary Family of Donum Dei was inaugurated at Grâce-Dieu, in the Archdiocese of Besançon (France), thus transferring it from the house of the General Curia (Rome) which had become too small for the numerous vocations of the Missionary Family. Apart from the local bishop Mons. André Lacrampe and the General responsible for the FMDD, Mlle. Clémentine Paré, T.M. who took part in the ceremony, there were also two other bishops, numerous priests and laity present. Representing the General Curia and taking part in the occasion was Fr. Josef Jancar, O.Carm., General Delegate for the Laity. In his address he underlined the importance of formation in the growth of candidates in their missionary and Carmelite vocation. He also expressed the gratitude of the Order to Mons. Lacrampe, promoter and great supporter of the new foundation and of the “School of Formation of the Missionary Workers”, which was inaugurated prior to the celebration of Mass. The School is also aided by the involvement of priests and laity, to whom Fr. Josef expressed his deep gratitude. During the inauguration ceremony, the General responsible for the Missionary Workers and those responsible for the formation outlined the scope of each stage of formation and the lecturers outlined the content of each of the courses.

First students graduate from Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI)
 
On 6th October 2009 the first graduations of students enrolled in the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI) took place in Dublin, Ireland.
CIBI began offering distance-learning courses in Carmelite Studies in 2006, as a joint initiative of the Carmelites of the Ancient and Discalced Observances. The courses, which have the status of Pontifical Awards, are accredited by the Milltown Institute in Dublin.
The first students to complete the Adult Education Diploma in Carmelite Studies were at Milltown to receive their diplomas in person. Two of the students are Lay Carmelites from Britain: Patricia Bradburn, a member of the Third Order Secular (TOC) and Ann Hardman, a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order (OCDS). The third student is 84 year-old Sister Mary-Cecilia Lee, a Discalced Carmelite nun from the monastery in Delgany, Ireland.
Not content to rest on their laurels, all three students have already opted to continue their studies, progressing to the more advanced CIBI Diploma in Carmelite Studies.

Emergency Appeal for Assistance
for Storm Ondoy victims in the Philippines

Typhoon Ondoy (International name: Ketsana) entered the Philippines territory on September 26, 2009 and has caused flashfloods and landslides in Luzon, including Metro Manila. Rivers and creeks overflowed and walls weakened by floodwaters collapsed. Floodwaters forced people, especially those in low-lying areas to seek higher ground.  Most are on the roofs of their houses to avoid being taken in by flashfloods.  Floodwaters caused packed traffic jams and people who left early from their homes were stranded.Over 100 have died and the figure is rising. Our Carmelite parishes, the Parish of San Isidro Labrador in Barangay Bagong Silangan, and the Sagrada Familia Parish both located in Quezon City are greatly affected.   In the Parish of San Isidro Labrador alone, more than 50 persons have died and 100 are missing, while in Sagrada Familia parish, there are more than 500 families who are totally affected by the flash flood.  Many of their houses are partially and totally damaged or washed out due to the flash flood. They are now temporarily housed in the Parish Church and in the different Centers.
The number of families affected across Luzon has swelled to 69,513 (about 337,216 people). The number of evacuees has also reached 11,967 families (about 59,920 people) who are staying in 118 evacuation centers, NDCC data showed.
Families affected need our help.  Donations  may be sent through the Order of Carmelites. You can call us at the procurator’s office Tel No. (02) 726-77-65 look for Fr. Aris Escobal, O. Carm. or Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Beginning of Tanzanian Mission
 
For several years the General Commissariat of “La Bruna” has been committed to opening a house for friars in Tanzania. In this period, a number of young men have been formed in Naples.
After the last trip of Fr. Thomas Mtey in Africa to make contact with the local ordinary regarding this mission, Cardinal Pengo assigned to the Carmelites the parish of Bunju with the idea that it will become a Marian centre for the diocese of Dar-es-Salam. Work began on a house for the community in January 2006 and finished some months ago.
On Wednesday 30 September, Fr. Thomas Mtey, Bros. Dominic Somola, Paul Malewa, Victor Biramata, Paschal Shirima and a postulant, Richard Phocas, will leave Italy to begin this wonderful adventure in Africa.
We entrust to the maternal heart of Mary, our Mother and Sister, this young mission and especially these young Tanzanians.
