Is Anyone Familiar with the Carmelite Daughters of St. Elias?

 By the way everyone, I am not putting down religious orders that don't wear habits. There are various reasons why they don't . For example, the Daughters of the Heart of Mary a french order, was founded during the time of the French Revolution. They have never worn a habit because during the Reign of Terror it would have been their life and that of the poor citizens they served by wearing religious dress. Same goes for communities under the Communists, etc. In Mexico , Central and South America there were various revolutions, which often had anti-Catholic elements to it. Again, in order to help those in need, they had to pose as laywomen to carry out God's work.  There was here in the US, the Daughters of the Eucharist in Baltimore. They didnot wear a habit and were founded in the late 1890s, early 1900s.I was just making an observation, or giving my take  on  what the  original poster said.
