About our Parish

"May Our Lady of Mount Carmel be with you always. May she be the star that guides you and never disappears from your horizon. May she lead you now, throughout your life, and at its completion to a safe haven."
—Pope John Paul II

Mission Statement

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church is a Catholic Community which offers a holy, joyful, and peaceful place to worship God, study His Word, and do His work. All people are welcome as we journey together in faith to live out the love of Jesus Christ through the intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Objectives

To help parishioners connect their faith with the world in which they live, we aim to:

• deepen Christian understanding (people who know their faith will reach out to others)
• build Christian community (people who socialize together will work together)
• foster Christian sharing (people who work together and share their gifts will pray together)
• encourage Christian worship (people who pray together will attract other people to do the same)
• spread the Christian message of salvation (people who evangelize, pray, work, socialize together, and know their faith are doing Jesus Christ's loving work)

Prayer to the Blessed Mother of Mount Carmel

"Oh most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven,
Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.
Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me you are my Mother.
Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth,
I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in necessity (make request).
There are none that can withstand your power.
Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us
who have recourse to thee (say three times).
Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (say three times). Amen."
