CARMEL (Order of Discalced Carmelites): What is it All About?
Mt. Carmel in Holy Land, symbol for prayer, silence and solitude, has always attracted god-seeking people.
The Carmelite Order is one of the five ancient Religious Orders in the Catholic Church, and first one to be dedicated to Mary, who sought God's will in profound silence and did it with all her heart and thus became the mother of all the disciples of Jesus. There were always solitary hermits or communities of monks on Mount Carmel, living a life of prayer and contemplation, inspired by the life and spirit of prophet Elias.

The primary purpose of the Guild is to promote the practice and tenets of our faith among Catholic colleagues. In this regard, the Guild looks to the example of its patron saint who described himself as "the King's good servant, but God's first".
St. Thomas More's life was dedicated to the service of God, his family and the pursuit of true justice with wisdom, courage, humility and grace. The Guild convenes an annual Red Mass seeking God's guidance to this end. Click for information about the Red Mass.
The Guild also strives to promote and foster a spirit of goodwill and understanding with legal professionals of all faith groups, knowing there is much to learn from one another. Ecumenical and interfaith celebrations involving members of other Christian faiths and Jewish, Muslim, First Nations, Sikh, Hindu and other religions are also organized.
Membership in St Thomas More Lawyers' Guild of Northern Alberta is open to judges, lawyers, law students and others involved in the legal profession who are interested in pursuing the Guild's objectives.
