On May 6th, our community had the great joy of celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Sister Mary Helen of the English Martyrs and Sister Martha of Jesus.  Both have generously and joyfully served the Lord in Carmel for 60 years! Due to the Covid 19 restrictions, the jubilee was celebrated in private.

As Saint Teresa taught us: 'In this house, all must be friends, all must be loved, all must be held dear, all must be helped.'"
