Welcome to the website of the Stella Maris Federation of the Carmelite Nuns in the Philippines! Our Federation is a union of the monasteries of the Nuns of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel (O.Carm.) in the Philippines.

 

Our Merciful God has brought us to Carmel, His most beautiful and fruitful mountain.  We have experienced the sweetness of God and we desire that this website will be for His Praise and Glory as we share His blessings with you, who are also called together with us to live in union with our Lord Jesus and our Most Blessed Mother Mary in the simplicity of our daily life.

 

Our Federation is under the name and patronage of the Star of the Sea, the “Stella Maris”.  She is Holy Mary, the Mother and Queen of Carmel.  Carmel is for her honor as it perpetuates the love of Jesus for her and her love for Jesus.

 

We wish you Health, Love, Grace and the choicest fruits of Carmel as we pray for you, who will open this website.

 

                                              Sisterly yours in Carmel,

                                              Sr. Ma. Elena de la Eucaristia Tolentino, O. Carm.
