Catholic lay community inspired by Carmelite spirituality and Renewal in the Spirit.
Holy Trinity Community is a lay Roman Catholic Community founded in 1987 by Fr. Yohanes Indrakusuma C.S.E. We have a mixed charism of Carmelite & Renewal in the Spirit. We have around 16000 members worldwide today, serving dozens of dioceses and hundreds of parishes worldwide.
About us
HTCNA was established on January 11, 1987, in East Java, Indonesia, by Fr. Yohanes Indrakusuma CSE, who also founded two religious communities: Daughter of Carmel and Carmelitae Sancti Eliae.
Today, the Holy Trinity Community has expanded to four continents, reaching cities such as Jakarta, Singapore, Vietnam, Sydney, Toronto, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, and Vancouver, with a membership exceeding 16,000.
We invite everyone to experience God's love through our communal prayer life.
What we do
Cell Meetings
Holy Trinity Community (HTC) operates in form of cell groups. Our model closely mimics that of biological cells. We evangelize others by inviting them to join a cell group, causing cells to grow in number. After a cell reaches approximately 14 members, members are separated to ultimately form two cells. Our organizational statutes and teaching materials are fully recognized by the Holy See.
HTC’s membership process is similar to other third order religious communities. This includes 1/2 year of aspirancy, 1 year of beginner, 3 years of temporary commitment, and followed by permanent commitment professed annually.
Retreats
For our members and upon request, we organize various retreats, including life in the spirit, inner healing, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and a lot other types of carmelite retreats.
Our members are encouraged to attend a retreat once a year. Due to our relationship with the Daughters of Carmel and C.S.E, we often come together for retreats.
