Exploring the Depths of Community Living in the Carmelite Tradition
At Bakersfield OCDS, we emphasize the importance of community living as a vital aspect of our spiritual journey. This fosters deep connections among members, enhancing our collective commitment to God and each other.
Our Carmelite community is dedicated to nurturing spiritual growth through shared experiences and contemplative prayer. By engaging in communal activities, we strengthen our bonds and deepen our understanding of Carmelite spirituality, which is rooted in the teachings of St. Teresa of Jesus and St. John of the Cross.
In Bakersfield, we invite individuals seeking a deeper relationship with God to join our community. Through regular gatherings, prayer sessions, and service projects, we embody the spirit of evangelical service, reflecting our commitment to the teachings of the Discalced Carmelite Order. Together, we strive for a life of holiness, guided by the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and the Prophet Elijah.
Join us in our mission to grow spiritually and serve our community. Together, we can make a meaningful impact while deepening our faith and understanding of Carmelite values.
