The "Flos Carmeli" House of Prayer
This Lay Carmelite House of Prayer is located atop the hill overlooking the scenic Laguna de Bay. This is at the #29 Barretto Compound, Pansol, Calamba, Laguna. The House of Prayer is a former rest house owned by Mr. and Mrs. Rene and Bettina Benitez. The property was stumbled upon by a TOC who was looking for donors for the Domus Carmelitana. The couple instead of donating offered their property generously for the use of the Third Order of Carmel. On January 18, the signing of the lease of contract for the "Flos Carmeli" House of Prayer was done at the National Office of the Lay Carmelites at the Teresa of Avila Building.
