Lay Carmelites are linked closely to friars of the Order through Provincial Delegates.
 
The Discalced Carmelite Order also has a branch for lay people, known as the Secular Order (OCDS) with various local communities. The Third Order of the British Province (TOC) and the Discalced Secular Order in England and Wales (OCDS) are increasingly working together to promote the values of Carmel.
 
Lay Carmel offers people of any background
a deep and fruitful spiritual path to follow.
