From the 26th to the 30th of May 2025, the Conference of European Provincials (CEP) held its assembly at the Domus Carmeli in Fátima. This meeting provided an opportunity for common discernment, strengthening our Teresian charism, and fostering communion between the different provinces of Europe.
During this time, the provincials reflected on issues essential to the life and mission of the order, such as updating the Ratio Institutionis OCD, preventing abuse, and fostering collaboration between provinces. Thursday 29 May, dedicated to the Marian life of the Order and the revision of the 1991 Constitutions of the nuns, was particularly significant.
The atmosphere of prayer, work, and fraternity enabled us to discuss the current challenges and hopes for a renewed presence of Discalced Carmelites in Europe, with the Teresian charism at the heart of our actions.
