Brgy. Milagro, Ormoc, Leyte





CARMEL is a garden...



Carmel is full of spiritual bouquet...



Carmel is a refreshing spring for those who thirst...



Whether you seek to re-discover the beauty in yourselves, an inspiration to your dry spirits, a renewal of your tired hearts... Carmel is always a refuge for you.

In the mountains of Barangay Milagro, Ormoc, Leyte, Carmel Philippines began a Center where you can be who you are with our God... You can commune to the Lord in silence and you can re-collect the shattered pieces of your soul...

Welcome then to Carmel Ormoc...







As you can see your help went a long, long way... we have started that which long ago was seemingly impossible to put up...











For all the help, you sent through Fr. Aris Escobal and the rest of our friars, our foundation, and our parishes... we will always be grateful... Rest assured, we shall include you in the intentions of the Young Carmel Philippine Foundation... most of all, in our Masses and prayers...

However, much is still to be done for the Carmelite Spirituality Center... a CHAPEL is yet to be realized... the hermitages has to be constructed... a session kiosk will be erected... thousand of trees has to be planted on the mountain side with the help of your hands... the way of the cross and the road as an ascent to Carmel is under development.

You can help us... either by being present and lend your hands in tree planting or you can materially support us construct the Chapel, Hermitages and Kiosk.

In this journey, we hope you would be our life raft...
