In February, Fr. Ramiro Casale, OCD, General Delegate for the OCDS, accompanied by the Provincial Delegate for the OCDS, Fr. Pedro Martínez Nogales, OCD, made a fraternal visitation to the communities of the Secular Order and the Confraternities of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
The visitation was organised by region, where people from all over Mexico met to discuss important themes relating to the Carmelite charism. These meetings took place in the cities of Celaya, Mexico, Guadalajara, Puebla and San Luis Potosí. Frs Cándido Celestino, OCD, and German Melgarejo, OCD, Provincial and Vicar Provincial, as well as other Carmelite friars took part in these meetings.
The Secular Order in Mexico continues to flourish. However, among its immediate priorities are the revision of the Provincial Statutes of the OCDS and the development of a formation plan, as well as the continued promotion of unity and fraternity among the communities.
The Confraternities of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Mexico, in communion with the Order, have a large and important presence in many cities throughout the country.
