SCHOOL YEAR WEEKDAY CHURCH HOURS

For the protection of the children, during the school year we will move the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament to the Chapel of the Convent from approximate 7:30 until 10:00 AM. So for those who stay for private prayer or wish to pray in the presence of the exposed Blessed Sacrament, they can continue to do so at the Chapel located up the ramp of the convent in the Sister’s chapel Monday through Friday. Daily Mass will continue to be offered only at 7:00 am Monday to Friday. Exposition will still occur on Saturday Morning at 8:00 am followed by Mass at 9:00 and the church will close at Mass to secure the school for the benefit of our children who come for Religious Education.

 

TO MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL PARISH COMMUNITY

  From Fr. Bob Norris, Pastor
The health and safety of the parish staff and community at the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is our top priority.  I am writing to inform you that I received a positive test result for COVID-19 on Monday, February 1, 2021. The last day of exposures at the parish was Sunday, January 31, 2021.   I am feeling well and I am self-isolating as per my physician’s direction until I am cleared to return to my regular duties. 
Unfortunately, as result of this positive test, I am required to isolate for ten days.  Since Fr. Augustine has received the two doses of the vaccines against COVID-19, he is not contagious and will be celebrating all public services for this time period. 


DAILY REFLECTION
We now have daily Mass at 7:00 AM Monday to Friday and a bilingual Mass on Saturday at 9:00 am.  Each week day from 7:45 until 10:00 AM  the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the convent Chapel adn concludes with a blessing of the village and the parish.
