2026 National Conference – EAST
The Flame of Love is not simply a devotion—it is a mission entrusted to the Church for our time. Our 2026 conference season will help participants discover and respond to this gift with renewed faith, courage, and zeal and ignite Carmel within! See the 2026 National Conference page for more about what to expect at this year’s conference.
This year, to fan the Flame into Carmel, we will send personal invitations across the country to Carmelite Monasteries. We are truly honored and delighted to welcome the Carmelites! We have made a number of tickets available to them at no cost at all of our conferences. In fact, we welcome all priests and religious to our events free and hope to provide materials as we are able. If you are able, please consider helping us financially offset the FREE ticket to host a religious. Our national conferences serve as our primary fundraisers for the movement, and hosting large events have considerable costs involved. Even a small donation as you register for the event, can help us spread the Flame! Thank you. Priest/Religious Ticket Support ❤️🔥
