Today is the Carmelite meeting, followed closely by a celebratory luncheon for my wife, overlapping with a celebration of the second issue of the local historical society's publication (this time I have some poetry being published rather than acting as editor). A full and wonderful day.

Which monastery is your secular carmel order affiliated with?
Dear Nicole,
It is governed and allied to the provincial office in Darien, Illinois, not to an individual monastary here in Central Florida. (As you might imagine they are vanishingly few).
shalom,
Steven
