The Institute of the Carmelite Sister of St. Teresa(C.S.S.T) was founded in 1887 by Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima (a resident of chennai) in the town of ernakulam in Kerala.

It was a time when the vast majority of people were living in squalor and misery and the poor were compelled to beg on the streets to eran a living. A caste-ridden society was the order of the day.

Mother Teresa, an educationist with a spiritual and social thrust and great zeal, was convinced that all human beings are children of God, with a right to live in dinity.

With the first foundation, St. Teresa's Convent, Ernakulam, she started a school where all types of students, irrespective of their social and financial status, were admitted. In the short span of her life as founderess (1887-1902), she also set uo an orphanage for the poor, whom society discarded, and even personally nursed the sick inmates of the convent during epidemics at that time. A Dispensary, Industrial school for the poor, and a Home for the aged poor, were also started. She was a pacesetter, who visited even the prison and attended to the spiritual needs of the prisoners. She brought about liberation from the chains of casteism and poverty.

Imbused by her spirit, the carmelite Sister of St. Teresa serve in the field of education, social and health action.
