Blessed Maria Teresa of Saint Joseph, DCJ (born Anna Maria Tauscher van den Bosch; 19 June 1855 – 20 September 1938), was a German religious sister and the founder of the Carmelite Daughters of the Divine Heart of Jesus.[1] Tauscher worked in Cologne and was removed from her position after she converted to Roman Catholicism in 1888 so founded a congregation in the Netherlands upon choosing the Carmelite charism for her life.[2][3]

Her beatification was held in mid-2006 in the Netherlands.
