The Congregation of the
Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (C.M.I) had its beginning in the first half of the 19th
century. When two zealous priests, Fr. Thomas Palackal and Fr. Thomas Porukara of
the Vicariate Apostolic of Verapoly in Kerala, sought to live in retirement and
prayer, their Ordinary, the Vicar Apostolic, Bishop Maurilius Stabilini advised
them to found a religious house so that they might do good to the people in the
world too. This was in 1829 A.D.
CMI House was an annexe to St. Paul Provincial House, Padaria, Bhopal.
Situated at a central place in the city it added to easy communication and
efficient administration of the Provincial House. It is a two storied house on
6000 sq ft bought in Feb. 2002, blessed and inaugurated on March 17, 2002 by
His Grace Archbishop Paschal Topno. VI Provincial Synaxis held at Poornodaya in
2005 decided to have the official residence of the provincial administration at
CMI House, Govind Garden, Bhopal. Hence the CMI House is re-christened CMI
Provincial House.
