The Carmelite Missionaries Secular (CMS) Philippines began as a prayer group organized by the Carmelite Missionaries during the late '80s from among the residents of the Sacred Heart Village, Quezon City, where the CM Novitiate was located. The group was formally organized as CMS Philippines in 1995 when the CM General Council requested for canonical recognition of the CMS to the Pontifical Council for the Laity. On March 20, 1996, the Pontifical Council for the Laity decreed the recognition of the CMS as a Private International Association of the lay faithful. CMS Philippines has expanded from just one group or "Chapter" in Quezon City to 14 Chapters in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. --------------------------- National Steering Committee: National Coordinator - Mary Lou Regala National Secretary - Montserrat Aberilla National Treasurer - Aleli Hizon National Spiritual Adviser - Sr. Julie Propera, cm
