Secular Discalced Carmelites of Orchard Park

The OCDS Community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Teresa of Jesus

Vocations


The Secular Discalced Carmelite Order is open to any confirmed Catholic in full communion with the Church, between the ages of 18 and 65. You may be in the single or married state of life, but may not be a member of any other group that requires promises or vows. Also, we meet at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart parish in Orchard Park, NY, and so you should be able to easily travel to that location.

If you think you might be called to this vocation and would like to visit our community, please contact our vocation director at ocdsny11@gmail.com.
