ICS Publications, based in Washington, D.C., is the publishing house of the Institute of Carmelite Studies (ICS) and a ministry of the Discalced Carmelite Friars of the Washington Province (U.S.A.). The Institute of Carmelite Studies promotes research and publication in the field of Carmelite spirituality, especially about Carmelite saints and related topics. The institute’s members are friars of the Washington Province.

We are best known for our translations of Carmelite classics: the works of Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Lawrence of the Resurrection, Thérèse of Lisieux, Elizabeth of the Trinity, and Edith Stein. Our editions of these works—all with ample notes and explanatory materials, and translated whenever possible from the critical texts—are widely hailed for their accuracy, readability, and affordability.
