About
St. Joseph Monastery :
The
Carmelites in Karnataka: The Teresian Carmelites had established themselves in
Goa and in Kerala in the seventeenth century. And since the region formerly
known as the Carnatic, lies between Goa in the north and Kerala in the South,
the Carmelites had inevitably to pass through Karnataka when proceeding by land
from Goa to Kerala. And it is not surprising to find them residing at least on a
temporary basis, in places like Bijapur, which form part of today's Karnataka.
In his ‘Viaggio alle Indie Orientali’ Fr. Vincent Mary of St Catherine, has left
us interesting descriptions of the beliefs, customs, feasts of the Canara of his
time, and even of the scenic beauties and the cultivation and other aspects of
life. But he found the Christians greatly neglected. And, on his reporting the
need of the Canara Christians to the Holy See, Mangalore secured its first Vicar
Apostolic in 1677.
