The Lay Carmelite Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary is an association mainly of laypersons. Its members, responding to a special call of God, freely and deliberately commit themselves to live by following Jesus Christ according to the charism, traditions and spirit of the Carmelite Order, although not in Religious Life. The St. Anne Lay Carmelite Community meets on the first Saturday afternoon of each month in Memphis, TN. If you would like more information, e-mail carmemphis@gmail.com.
