After watching, we invite you to reflect on these questions:
⁣
- How might the Holy Spirit be inviting you to deepen your understanding of the fire that sustains you?
- How is your flame part of the greater fire that warms the whole Church?

What a wonderful evening we had, spending it together, enjoying one another’s company, and exhibiting the true meaning of being friends, neighbors and parishioners. We served about 100 people!

The question asked the most tonight was without a doubt, “which church will you be going to now?” I can’t count how many times I heard that question asked amongst everyone. The reality of Journey in Faith setting in. No more Mass at St. Mary of Mt. Carmel.

Though we will all be going our separate ways, finding a new church and parish to call “home” may we embrace this difficult transition with grace and peace as Christ would. Pray for the transition, pray for our priests, and pray for each other. After all, we know the power of prayer.

St. Mary of Mt. Carmel is not closed. It holds too much love and too many memories to be closed, forgotten.

We hope to see you Wednesday mornings at 8:00am weekly mass. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Stay tuned to this page for updates, announcement and future events to once again come together as friends and neighbors.

Pope Leo XIV is inviting Catholics around the world to join him in praying a rosary for peace on May 30.

The Holy Father is set to pray the rosary live from the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens at 7 p.m. Rome time. Monsignor Walter R. Rossi, rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., will join Pope Leo in praying the rosary with a simultaneous livestream at 1 p.m. ET, according to a May 22 press release.

Shrines that have joined the initiative, coordinated by the Dicastery for Evangelization, include: the Shrine of the Mother of God (Zarvanytsia, Ukraine); the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Antipolo, Philippines); the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary (Fátima, Portugal); the Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace (Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina); the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Lourdes, France); the Shrine of St. Charbel Annaya (Byblos, Lebanon); and the Pontifical Shrine of the Holy House (Loreto, Italy).

“As the preeminent Marian shrine and patronal church of the United States, the basilica joins shrines throughout the world in this worldwide rosary with the Holy Father,” according to a statement from the basilica in Washington, D.C. “All are invited to participate in this special moment of unity and prayer for peace throughout the world.”

During his homily at Pentecost, Leo called Catholics to pray to the Holy Spirit to “save us from the evil of war, which is overcome not by a superpower but by the omnipotence of love.”

Leo has issued repeated calls for peace around the world, including the Middle East, Africa, and Ukraine, since the start of his pontificate.
