The Teresian Charism

The Teresian Carmel has a long and fruitful history. Founded by St. Teresa of Jesus as a continuation of the ancient religious family of Carmel, it has spread throughout the world, adopting different forms and styles, embedding itself in various cultures, and flourishing through numerous figures of holiness. The diversity present in today’s Order—reflected in its origins, cultures, formation, sensitivities, and activities—invites us to give thanks for the fruitfulness of our charism.
