Our mission
The Carmelite Missionary inherits from its founder the missionary disposition and spirit to go "wherever the glory of God calls me".Francisco Palau perceives with great clarity what his daughters are called to do…
Wherever there is
a wound to heal
a sorrow to ease
a joy to celebrate
a hope to bring back to life
a person to dignify
an injustice to overcome
a truth to affirm
a faith and a love to share...
There we try to pitch our tent as Carmelite Missionaries. "Look upon him in this body which is his Church, wounded, crucified, destitute, persecuted, despised and mocked. And under this consideration, offer yourself to care for him and to render him such services as are in your power".
Always in search of new horizons
We are simple yet courageous women, open to universality, always ready to cross frontiers and open paths of dialogue and collaboration. Committed to history, we feel sent to be close to the people, at the service of a wounded and needy world; sensitive and in solidarity with the poor and the excluded, involved in projects that promote women, displaced persons, and migrants; and embracing new forms of presence that respond to today's missionary challenges, such as accompanying forgotten indigenous populations. "...I send you and in the midst of the clash I will tell you what to do".

"...I send you and in the midst of the clash I will tell you what to do".
Thus, the proclamation of the Gospel is carried out in many different ways, just as our founder desired: dedicating ourselves to the mission that is most needed in each place and at each moment. Today, several nations across the five continents welcome our prayerful, fraternal, and missionary presence. “My mission is simply to proclaim to the peoples that you, Church, are infinitely beautiful and lovable.”
In this way, the congregation carries out its apostolic activity in Christian education, in healthcare ministry, in the ad gentes mission, in social pastoral work, in youth ministry, in spiritual pastoral care, and in other forms of evangelization. “Love of God, love of neighbor: this is the purpose of my mission.”
And we continue widening the tent, being reborn, and growing in shared mission with the laity.
