The Heaven on the Earth

It was a long cherished dream of Carmel Thiruvalla to have a cloistered Carmel in the Northern part of Kerala as all the existing Carmels were in the southern part. Rev. Fr. Augustine Mulloor OCD the then Definitor General of the Order for the Carmels in India, planning the growth of the Order in India dreamt of a Cloistered Carmel in the North of Kerala. This shared dream became a possibility on 10th July 2014 - Rt. Rev. Dr. Alex Vadakkumthala bishop of Kannur visited our Carmel. He shared about the growing young diocese and its concerns and invited us to have a foundation to pray for the diocese and for the people of Kannur.

Share your Prayers and we shall pray
