What we are is an overflow of our intimacy with the Divine. We seek to experience the All sufficing love of God as our first priority. Impelled by His love, we reach out to others, to share our uniquely treasured experience of God through various ministries.
We are Carmelites who contemplate the Divine within. And we are Apostolic, for our contemplative lives bring forth the light of the mission burning out our lives in the oil of the Divine love, for the glory of God.
Those who aspire to follow the AC can join as candidates of the Apostolic Carmel, Way of Life, in response to God’s call. They are exposed to religious life during this year.
The next step in the formation of the Apostolic Carmel takes us to the postulancy. As candidates enter the postulancy, they renounce their worldly wealth for divine wealth.
Sisters who pronounce their first vows renew it every year. For five years they are sent to different communities for further experience of religious life and mission and for higher education.
More than 250 of our sisters serve the people all over the island according to God’s way.

May the Mother of Carmel guide you and lead you to Jesus and may Jesus the only one who loves you and me unconditionally be our source of Joy always.
Legacy is a gift from the past that helps create a better future. Legacy of the Apostolic Carmel is that gift our foundress Mother Veronica handed down to her daughters, passed on for 150 years, a way to experience the All Sufficing Love of God and to share that love with all through education and other works of love.
Jesus looked around and saw them following.
“What do you want?”
He asked them.
They replied,
“Rabbi where do you stay?”
He said,
“Come and See”
There are four years of intense preparation before one starts living the A.C. Way of life, which is called Initial Formation. After the Initial Formation, the Apostolic Carmel habit is offered to those who desire to follow this way of life further. Once, joined to the A.C. Family, there are five more years of preparations before the final commitment. And then we become fully-fledged Apostolic Carmel sisters in the loving family of A.C.
