Discalced Carmelite Friars VIETNAM / CAMBODIA

In Vietnam, there are four communities of Discalced Carmelite Nuns full of vocations as in no other part. They await the permission of the government for others other foundations. Although we have no foundation of Friars, four temporary professed Brothers are completing their formation in the Philippines, and another four will enter this year in the same country to begin the novitiate. In Cambodia, there are five Korean Friars in the process of making a foundation. They have bought land where they hope to soon begin the construction of the monastery. The old convent near the capital of Phnom Penh is at present an orphanage.
