The Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary acknowledges its origins from the convent of Straubing in the Upper German Province, the only German house to survive the suppressions of the nineteenth century.

The Province had spread throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada. In 1949 the Province accepted a new foundation in Lima, Peru. In 1995 a parish and formation house were founded in Mexico. In 2014 the Provincial chapter approved the foundation in El Salvador. At present the Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary has about 179 religious working in North America, Canada, Peru, Mexico, El Salvador and Italy.

The history of the Carmelites in Paraná begins with the history of Ulrich Goevert, a member of the Upper German Province. He went to Brazil in 1936, and joined up with the work of the Carmelites in the Northeast. After fifteen years he set out from there to begin a mission of his own in line with a project of his province that took shape in Paranavaí.

As time went by the Province of Upper Germany sent more and more friars to the mission in Paranavaí. On the 20^th of October 2012 the Carmelite Order through the offices of the Prior General, Fernando Millán Romeral, O.Carm., handed over responsibility for the Carmelite Order in this region to the Brazilian friars, by erecting here a General Commissariat. At present the General Commissariat has 30 friars who work in Brazil and Italy.

The first Carmelite foundation was made in 1580 in Olinda, Pernambuco. Other foundations were made throughout Brazil and a century later, in 1685, the vast vicariate of Brazil was divided into the vicariates of Rio de Janeiro and Bahia-Pernambuco. These in turn became provinces in 1720. Some of the houses of the Bahia-Pernambuco Province embraced the Stricter Observance and these in 1744 were constituted a Province with the title "Pernambuco".

At present the Province of Pernambuco has about 111 religious working in the United States and Mozambique.
