The Friends of Whitefriars Oxford Fund

Overview

The Friends of Whitefriars Oxford Fund, registered as Charity No. 207738, is a UK-based nonprofit organization affiliated with the Discalced Carmelite community. The charity is centered around the Carmelite Community at Boars Hill, Oxford, where the friars focus on a life dedicated to prayer, solitude, and community service.

Mission and Activities

The primary mission of the charity and its associated community is to foster a contemplative lifestyle. The friars engage in a simple life of prayer and solitude, balanced with daily liturgy, work, and love of neighbor. A significant part of their day is devoted to formal prayer, including Mass and Liturgy of the Hours, reflecting the contemplative nature of their vocation.

Events and Programs

The community offers various spiritual programs and events, including retreats, pilgrimages, and courses on spiritual direction. These activities are designed to deepen spiritual understanding and provide opportunities for personal growth and transformation. The programs often draw inspiration from the teachings of Carmelite saints like St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross.

Structure and Governance

The charity operates within the broader context of the UK Discalced Carmelites, who have several priories across the country. The governance of the friars includes a structured council with appointed councillors who oversee the community's activities.

Community Engagement

Through their community service and spiritual programs, The Friends of Whitefriars Oxford Fund aims to engage with the broader community while maintaining a prayerful environment. This approach allows them to balance contemplation with external outreach and support.
