It is with great gratitude that the Carmelite Institute announces a large bequest from the Estate of Vivian P. Freitas. Mrs. Freitas was a great supporter of Carmelite Spirituality and her gift will ensure that the Carmelite Institute can continue to support educational and spiritual programming for all who pursue a life in Carmel. In gratitude to Mrs. Freitas, the Order of Carmelites will offer a novena of Masses, and the Carmelite Institute will honor her at our Spring lecture. Please contact Joan Knetemann if you would like to consider including the Carmelite Institute in your estate planning.
