Discalced Carmelite Sister Marie Therese Miciano professed solemn vows on Nov. 5 as a member of the Monastery of St. Joseph in Terre Haute.

A native of the Philippines, Sister Marie Therese, 49, was previously a member of the Missionaries of St. Charles Borromeo, also known as the Scalabrinian sisters. She entered that order in 1999 and professed perpetual vows in 2009.

As a Scalbrinian, Sister Marie Therese served in the Philippines, India and the U.S. as a nurse, an infirmarian and as a vocations director.

She entered the Monastery of St. Joseph in 2016. In addition to her life of contemplative prayer, which is at the heart of the Carmelite vocation, Sister Marie Therese has ministered in the monastery in service to the sick and in maintenance, gardening and cooking. †
