The Lay Carmelite Order of The Blessed Virgin (historically known as the "Third Order") is an association mainly of laypersons. Its members, responding to a special call of God, freely and deliberately commit themselves "to live in the following of Jesus Christ," according to the charism, traditions and the spirit of Camel under the authority of the Prior General of the Carmelite order. Its members, though not in religious life, choose to live out their baptismal commitment according to the spirit of the Carmelite order.
The Legion is a lay apostolic organization with over 15 million members worldwide. This ministry holds weekly Holy Communion services at senior and assisted living facilities in Palm Coast. They also visit parents of newly baptized children to present them a gift from the parish and to encourage the parents to actively involve their children in our sacramentals with parish life as they grow. Other members visit door-to-door in selected neighborhoods to invite residents to visit our church. All work is done in groups of two or more.
