The
Congregation
of
Mother
of
Carmel
(C.M.C.),
founded
in
1866
by
Blessed
Chavara
Kuriakose
Elias
and
the
Carmelite
Missionary
Fr.
Leopold
Beccaro,
is the
first
indigenous
Congregation
of
Kerala.
Sad at
the
barrenness
of
Syro-Malabar
Church
of
Kerala
in
nurturing
saints,
they
founded
our
Congregation
so
that
women
also
could
have
the
same
chance,
as men
to
lead a
consecrated
life,
love
God
and
neighbor
and
serve
with
total
commitment.
The
Visionary of the
Apostolate of
Education
Blessed Chavara
Kuriakose Elias
bequeathed to us
the noble
mission of
dedicating
ourselves for
the uplift and
christan
formation of our
fellowmen
especially of
women and
children
