Taking the Initiative, Two Committees
Discuss the Future
Two ad hoc committees met recently in the Carmelite Province of the Most
Pure Heart of Mary to discuss new options for life and ministry in the
Province. In late February members of the Province where invited to
Whitefriars Hall in Washington, DC, to discuss proposals for beginning a
“contemplative community.”
This committee was chaired by John Welch, O.Carm.,
Eastern Regional Superior. In early March members of the Province were invited
to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, in Houston, Texas, to discuss “new inititatives”
for active ministry in the Province.
This meeting was chaired by Stan
Makacinas, O.Carm., Western Regional Superior, and Ron Oakham, O.Carm.
