Books from Darlington Carmel

ALWAYS A CARMELITE: SEASONS OF CARMELITE LIFE $8.00 BY GUY MERLIN A marvelous book whose theme is "Being a Carmelite all one's life." Paperback

This contemplative convent is situated in the north east of England.  The Darlington Sisters belong to the Discalced Carmelite Order which was reformed in the sixteenth century by St. Teresa of Jesus, also known as Teresa of Avila. They were founded in Lierre in 1648 for English girls who wished to enter religious life but could not do so at home due to the persecution of Catholics.   When the French Revolution broke out the British monarchy ceased its state of persecution and the Catholics were invited to return to England.  The Sisters came over in 1794 and lived in a number of places before finally settling in Darlington in 1830.
