Carmelite Saints

We have many Carmelite Saints: the list is continually growing. As soon as anyone reaches the category of Blessed, which they attain before becoming a saint, we can celebrate their feast/memorial in the liturgy. I am taking the liberty of connecting to other sites for the details of the saints.

St John of the Cross Co-founder with Teresa. Doctor of the church.
