On June 3rd and 4th, the Carmelite Institute gave presentations to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites as well as the OCD Priors and Prioresses during their meetings at The Little Flower Church in Oklahoma City. Both groups warmly welcomed hearing about the Vilma Seelaus Prize for Carmelite Writing, the October 18th Carmelite Lecture and Art Show, and the events surrounding the Centenary of St. Theresa of Avila: the 2015 Symposium, and Pilgrimage to Spain. The Carmelite Institute is grateful to the OCD and OCDS community for collaborating so enthusiastically! While in Oklahoma City, the Secular Carmelites toured the Oklahoma City National Memorial and enjoyed fellowship with the Priors and Prioresses of the OCD communities.
