The Carmelite Heritage Room at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel showcases a rich collection of written materials – books, programs, newspaper articles and an array of photographs and artifacts, which chronicle the legacy of the Carmelite Order. These displays highlight not only the history of the New York Province of St. Elias, but also the lives and contributions of Carmelites, past and present, who have shaped both the Order and the wider world.
The current exhibit honors the life and legacy of Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, O. Carm., Foundress of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm. Through four thoughtfully curated display cases, visitors can explore her inspiring story, brought to life with historic materials from the Provincial Archives.
