Br Anacleto makes Solemn Vows

In the presence of a large crowd of Carmelites, parishioners, family and friends, Br Anacleto made his Solemn Profession of Vows (life-long commitment) as a Carmelite on 16 July.The Mass of Solemn Profession took place at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Middle Park (VIC).

Among the Carmelites present were Frs Robert Puthussery and Richard Byrne, two members of our General Council in Rome, who are in Australia for a Canonical Visitation of the Province. Fr Bruce Clark (Prior Provincial) received Anacleto’s profession. Among the 3 Deacons at the Mass was Anacleto’s brother, Narcizio, also a Carmelite, who travelled from Timor-Leste to be present.

Congratulations, Anacleto!

Carmelite Rule

A rule of life was given to the early Carmelites by St Albert Avogadro, Patriach of Jerusalem between the years 1206 - 1214. It was finally approved by Pope Innocent in 1247 and later underwent mitigations which were not in the original text.

The Carmelite Rule states that is basic for a Carmelite to "live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of his Master" [no.2].

Safeguarding

The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste are committed to the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and mistreatment.
