“Each young person can be daring enough to sow the seed of the message on that fertile terrain that is the heart of another young person.” — Christus Vivit (#210), Pope Francis
We are excited to announce the development of a new residential lay volunteer community at the Carmelite Priory in Aylesford, Kent, for young adults aged 18 – 30.
Our Vision
This project stems from our desire to accompany and collaborate with young people. Our goal is to share our experiences and the Carmelite story, journeying together to discover fresh ways to live and communicate the Gospel.
What we offer
Each year, we will provide an enriching experience for young adults from different countries and backgrounds:
Community life
Immerse ourselves in a supportive and vibrant community with other young people
Service
Engage in meaningful work, particularly with groups and young people
Prayer
Open ourselves to God and others
Formation
Benefit from developmental opportunities, including sharing and reflection, to enhance personal and spiritual growth
Opportunities
We hope to offer places to young adults from other Carmelite Provinces (subject to travel documentation and English language).
