Blessed Maria Teresa Scrilli

Our Foundress

  

Blessed Maria Teresa Scrilli (Maria Teresa of Jesus) followed the path of Carmelite spirituality from her youth and put it into practice in the apostolic life. She dedicated herself to the education of young girls and women, and to charitable works on behalf of the poor. Together with her colleagues, she founded a new religious institute at Montevarchi, in the province of Arezzo in Italy, which today is called the "Instituto di Nostra Signore del Carmelo". She was declared venerable on December 20, 2003 and beatified in Fiesole in Italy on October 8, 2006.
