Corrected entry: In the casino when the nuns are looking for Deloris, Mary Patrick asks some people if they've seen a "Carmelite nun." Judging by the sister's habits, I would guess that they are Dominicans, as Carmelites don't dress in that type of habit.

Correction: I think it's a joke referencing Whoopi Goldberg's skin color. Why else would she specify "Carmelite"??
I had always thought she had said caramel like nun.

Correction: While I think it was rather silly for her to bother specifying what kind of nun, I can find pictures of both Carmelite and Dominican nuns on the internet that are dressed like this and of both kinds dressed entirely differently.

I figured it was a way of saying that the nun they were looking for was Black - with skin the color of the Carmelite habit.
