The Greenville SC Lay Carmelites meet once a month, usually on the first Saturday, 9 AM at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton located at 8 Gillin Dr Simpsonville, SC. Our members come primarily from the Roman Catholic parishes of Upstate SC, but we also have members from NC. For more information please email Carolyn Amond at cla47@charter.net or Karen Blackwell at Kkillian80@gmail.com.
At our monthly meeting Father Cooper, our Spiritual Assistant and pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, offers Mass with the Carmelites in attendance in their distinctive brown scapulars. It is usual for the Divine Office to be prayed as part of Mass.
Following Mass we gather for Lectio Divina followed by a short meeting where we discuss our ongoing good works, finances, future retreats, etc. After our business meeting, we begin our study of Carmelite topics. Currently, we are studying the spiritual classic book: The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross John of the Cross is one of three Carmelite Doctors of the Church.
