Another flower has bloomed in the Garden of Pune Carmel… and this one is none other than a beautiful ROSE.
Miss Lyan Rodrigues was born and grew up in Mumbai. She completed her Graduate and Post Graduate studies in Human Development from Nirmala Niketan College of Home Science, Mumbai. Apart from that she has specialized in Intellectual disabilities by acquiring an M. Ed degree in Special Education- Mental Retardation from SNDT University, Mumbai. She is also the Grand-Niece of Br. Baptist Rodrigues, OCD of Mangalore Monastery.
Lyan has aspired to be a Carmelite since childhood. She came for a come and see experience to Pune Carmel in April 2016 for a period of one month. There she felt that Carmel was her home and God was calling her to live a life in deep union with Him. She returned home after the come and see experience and joined Carmel after a month as a Postulant, having said her good-byes to everybody; never to return back to the world.


Lyan was vested on the eve of 17th of January 2017 and has been given the religious name Sr. Rose of Infant Jesus.
