Discalced Carmelites in Nigeria

The Discalced Carmelite Friars were invited to Nigeria in the year 1988. Precisely on April 6 of that year, two Irish Discalced Carmelite Fathers, Rev. Charles Newell, OCD and Rev. Thomas Curran, OCD arrived Nigeria. The Bishop emeritus of Enugu, Rt. Rev. Dr. Michael Eneja, of blessed memory, gave them No. 17 Nike Avenue, Ekulu GRA, Enugu as their place of residenc

e. It was from this house that the friars grew and spread to other parts of the country, with many communities at present. Over the years, a great receptivity has been given to the Carmelite way of life by many young Nigerians with genuine vocation. At present, there are several ordained Carmelite priests working in various parts of the country and abroad; many students at various stages of formation; the Discalced Carmelite Nuns and the OCDS – the Secular Carmelites.

Detach from creatures and be attached to God

The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation; but they are at peace (Wis 3:1-3).

We commit all our dead to God’s love and mercy this month of November. May their souls rest in peace, Amen.
