About Us

Welcome to the Website of the Carmelite Fathers in West Bengal and Northeast India
We are the Discalced Carmelite Fathers (OCD) serving in the Regional Vicariate of West Bengal and Northeast India, belonging to the South Kerala Province of the Order.
Inspired by the spirit of St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross, we follow the contemplative charism of the Carmelite Order — a life rooted in deep prayer, fraternal communion, and apostolic service. Our presence in this region began in 1997–1998 as a missionary outreach, and today we joyfully celebrate over 25 years of God’s faithfulness in this beautiful and diverse part of India.
