Photos from A Beautiful Evening of Prayer in Honor of Our Lady of the Rosary!

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish came together in faith and devotion for a beautiful Parish Rosary in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary.

One of the most touching moments of the evening was seeing our children lovingly offer flowers to Our Blessed Mother. Each flower placed before Our Lady was a simple but beautiful expression of love, faith, and devotion, reminding us of the importance of passing our Catholic faith and Marian traditions on to the next generation.

As a parish family, we joined our voices in praying the Holy Rosary, entrusting our families, our parish, and the needs of our community to the loving intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

May Our Lady of the Rosary continue to draw us closer to her Son, Jesus, and inspire us to remain faithful in prayer.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!

With great joy and gratitude, the community of Ysleta Mission – Our Lady of Mount Carmel gathered to celebrate the Installation Mass of Fr. Juan Zuñiga, celebrated by Bishop Mark Seitz.

Surrounded by parishioners, clergy, and friends, Fr. Juan formally began his ministry of pastoral leadership among our faith community. It was a beautiful celebration of faith, service, and our shared mission as the People of God.

May the Lord bless Fr. Juan abundantly, grant him wisdom and strength, and guide him as he shepherds our parish with faith, compassion, and joy.

Congratulations and welcome, Fr. Juan! May God bless your ministry among us!

What a joyful celebration of God’s creation! In honor of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, beloved patron saint of animals and creation, our community gathered for the traditional Blessing of the Animals.

Families brought their beloved pets to receive a special blessing, giving thanks to God for the companionship, happiness, and unconditional love they bring into our lives.

May the example of St. Francis inspire us to care for all God’s creatures and to recognize the beauty of creation that surrounds us each day.

St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us! 🙏🐕🐈🐾

Photos from the Transitus Prayer Service!

In a beautiful expression of faith, fraternity, and Franciscan tradition, parishioners from three parishes served by Franciscan priests came together to commemorate the Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi, marking the 800th anniversary of his death.

The evening began at Our Lady of the Valley Parish, where the faithful gathered to begin a solemn procession. Joined by parishioners from Socorro Mission, the community prayerfully processed along Alameda Avenue toward Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish. The procession offered a visible witness of faith and reflected the spirit of fraternity that St. Francis embraced throughout his life.

Upon arriving at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the faithful continued the observance of the Transitus by completing the traditional seven-decade Franciscan Crown, also known as the Rosary of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This treasured Franciscan devotion recalls seven joyful moments in the life of the Blessed Mother and has long held a special place within Franciscan spirituality.

The Transitus, meaning “passage” or “crossing,” commemorates St. Francis’ passage from earthly life into eternal life. Each year, Franciscans and the faithful traditionally gather on the evening of October 3 to prayerfully remember his final hours, his love for Christ, and the remarkable witness of a life devoted to poverty, humility, peace, and care for all of God’s creation.

This year’s observance carried particular significance as the Franciscan family commemorates 800 years since the death of St. Francis. The gathering of three parish communities served as a fitting tribute to the saint who called his followers to live as brothers and sisters, united in Christ.

As parishioners walked together, prayed together, and remembered the final journey of St. Francis, the celebration became more than a remembrance of an event eight centuries ago. It was an invitation to continue his mission today—to be instruments of peace, to serve others with humility, and to encounter Christ in one another.

May the example of St. Francis of Assisi continue to inspire our parish communities to walk together in faith and to proclaim through our lives his enduring message of peace and all good — Pax et Bonum.
