Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara (1805 -1871)
Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, the founder of the CMI Congregation, our Guiding Light and Inspiration, was a great educationalist and a social reformer of the 19th Century. He could foresee the changes in the environment and make strategic moves to build up a better society based on the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of humanity.
Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), the first indigenous religious congregation of India, renders its service to humanity in educational, social, health care and other activities aiming at the integral development of society.
Blessed Chavara, Pray for us!
