Byzantine Discalced Carmelites

The Byzantine Discalced Carmelites are communities of cloistered nuns and friars (in Bulgaria only), belonging to several Eastern Catholic Churches – the Bulgarian Byzantine Catholic Church, the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, the Ruthenian Catholic Church, the Ordinariate for Eastern Catholics in France and the Romanian Greek Catholic Church, living committed to a life of prayer, according to the eremitic tradition and lifestyle of the Discalced Carmelites.

Discalced Carmelite friars are resident in Bulgaria

The Carmel of the Mother of God and Unity in Harissa, Lebanon was inaugurated on 24 August 1962 by Mgr Philip Nabaa (1907-1967), the Melkite Metropolitan Archbishop of Beirut and Byblos (1948-1967). Due to the many vocations a second Carmel was founded on 9 July 2005 in Kfarmasshoun, near Jbeil (Byblos). The Carmel of the Mother of God and Unity in Harissa was visited by Pope John Paul II on 11 May 1997 and by Pope Benedict XVI on 16 September 2012 during their apostolic trips to Lebanon.

It was out of a desire for Christian reconciliation and inspired by Pope John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council that the Byzantine Carmel was brought to life. Holy Annunciation Carmel's founding sisters, Mother Marija of the Holy Spirit, Sister Marie Helen of the Cross and Sister Ann of the Trinity (d. 2001) offered their lives for the healing of the Body of Christ with the inauguration of the monastery at Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania, on 23 February 1977. The Most Reverend Michael Dudick (1916–2007), the bishop of the Ruthenians of Passaic, New Jersey, assumed the total burden of financial responsibility and assisted the community for years.
