The sisters came here from the first Carmel in the United States which was in Baltimore, Maryland. If we wish to work further backward in history, Carmel came to the United States from the Belgium (English speaking) Carmel of Hoogstraet. The Hoogstraet foundress was Mother Ann of Our Lady and that Carmel came from the Carmel at Hopeland-Antwerp whose first Prioress was Blessed Mother Anne of St. Bartholomew. Now, Blessed Mother Anne of St. Bartholomew (read more here) the right hand and closes confidant of Holy Mother Teresa of Avila. WOW, now that is a great history!

I have had devotion to her for many years and in fact had the privilege of visiting the Carmel in Antwerp and venerating her relics and having her mantle placed over my shoulders - a special moment for me! It is good that you are making her more well known. God bless you for it. Telesia Helllo Aeternus,
