Lay Carmelite - Lenten Day of Recollection

Saturday, 15th March 2025

Led by: Sr. Carmela Chetcuti, O.Carm

​​​​

Sister Carmela Chetcuti, O Carm. founded the Society for Peace.  As a cloistered Carmelite Nun, Sister received a strong message from God to pray for peace as her mission in life.  Sister dedicated her life in the monastery to offer prayers each day for peace in the hearts of people, in families, in communities and in the world.  

Later in life, she was directed by God to leave the monastery to form a community dedicated to spreading the message of peace and to build a Shrine/Center for the purpose of prayer, healing, peace and reconciliation.

 

Having traveled to the Vatican Sister received permission to begin the Society for Peace and  have both lay members and vowed members who profess their Carmelite vows as Carmelites for Peace annually witnessed by our Chaplain.

 

Over the last 25 years Sister has been living and working in the Archdiocese of Detroit as director of Religious Education and youth ministry. Her current ministry is hospice care for the dying. 

Sister has traveled the world to bring the message of peace and reconciliation to all God's people.
