MANAGEMENT

The Congregation of the Sisters of Apostolic Carmel is an Indian Congregation which was founded in 1870 by Mother Veronica, a Holy and dedicated woman, who was divinely inspired to reach out to the young girls of her day.

From a tiny seed, this Congregation has spread all over India, Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Rome, Pakistan, Africa and Bahrain. The Apostolic Carmel Sisters, captured by the love of Christ and his message go forth to share his Mission in the world, joyously proclaiming the Good News as they work for the all-round development and social uplift of young people in Colleges, Schools, Technical schools, Training colleges and Schools for the Mentally Challenged, and render services to the needy through Dispensaries, Creches, Community Development Centres in Mission Stations. Drawing strength from prayer, contemplation and the bond of community life, the sisters realize their apostolic ministries as teachers, social workers, doctors, and nurses and live out their prophetic vocation bearing witness to God in whichever sphere they are placed. After the example of Mary our Mother, they go out to share God’s love with everyone, through education and other forms of social service, with special focus on children, youth, women and the needy, proclaiming by their lives that God alone suffices.

The education imparted by the Apostolic Carmel is geared towards the total development of the person by instilling in them Gospel values and forming them into responsible citizens equipped to work for the transformation of Society. In Goa, we have six houses – Holy Rosary Convent, Nuvem, Carmel College for Women, Nuvem, Fatima Convent, Margao, Carmel Seva Mandir, Borda, St. Mary’s Convent, Mapuca and Rosa Mystica Convent, Aldona. Besides a large number of schools and training centres, the Congregation runs Patna Women’s College in Patna, Providence college in Calicut, Carmel College in Goa, St. Agnes College in Mangalore, and St. Ann’s College of Education in Karnataka.

Enriched by the knowledge gained here, our students are inspired to share what they have gained with others, especially with the less fortunate.
