Yes, there is a Carmelite order of priests in the United States. The Order of Carmelites, also known as the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, has several provinces in the U.S. that focus on both contemplative and active ministries. They engage in various pastoral activities, education, and spiritual formation, while maintaining a deep commitment to prayer and community life.
There are two Orders of Friars (Carmelite priests), the Order of Carmelites which was founded in 1209 and the Discaled Carmelites which where founded by St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross in the 16th century during the Catholic Reform. There are three branches to each, priests, nuns, and seculars (third Order).
Saint Teresa of Avila reformed the Carmelite Order.
The Carmelite saints were saints who, when alive, were members of one of the Carmelite orders of nuns, brothers or priests. They are named for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Included are such well known saints as St. Therese of Lisieux and St. Teresa of Avila. For a complete list of all Carmelite saints and blesseds click on the link I placed below.

The number of Carmelite monks varies by region and specific monastery, as the Carmelite Order consists of various branches, including the Order of the Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Discalced Carmelites. As of recent estimates, there are approximately 1,500 to 2,000 Carmelite monks worldwide. This number can fluctuate due to factors such as new vocations and the aging of current members.
