We desire to express the Teresian contemplative life in the Contemporary Church & World– Our goals are to foster a broader acceptance of unity in diversity & the mutuality of the Carmelite family, especially by continued collaboration, friendship & communion among associations/federations at home & abroad. – To continue to work at achieving a representative voice in matters affecting our lives, the Teresian charism, & the Order. –To develop and empower our members to be future leaders of &/or contributors to CCA. – To continue to provide active, mutual support to the identified needs of our communities. We are committed to finding new ways of mutually supporting our communities. Currently we are implementing a Shared Services Program which will streamline & enhance the work we do.
