  • Regional Day of Recollection. The upcoming Regional Day of Recollection will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at 8:30am – 2:00pm. It will take place at the Carmelite House of Prayer, 20 Mount Carmel Drive, Napa, CA 94558. Registration is $25.00, to be paid at the door. Carmencita will be fully professed at this meeting. Please indicate to Marilou if you will be attending so we have a count and plan on carpooling. We need to submit our total count to the Regional Coordinator so they can determine the amount of food to provide.
