Carmelite SistersThe Religious Community of the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles was founded by Mother Maria Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament, affectionately known as Mother Luisita. On July 1, 2000, our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II promulgated that Mother Luisita be called Venerable, which means that it has been proven that Mother Luisita practiced her virtues to a heroic degree. She is now a candidate for beatification. The Institute of The Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles holds firmly to the traditions of our Mother Foundress and to the Magisterium of the Church.Venerable Mother Luisita always had a special place in her heart for the care of young children. In the early nineteenth century she cared for poor orphaned children in Mexico and gave support to families in their task of preserving and passing on the faith to their children. This charism has been given to us, who continue to serve the Church faithfully as she did. Our primary focus is our prayer life which flows into service to the Church through the following apostolates: Education, Child Care, Health Care, and Retreat Work.
