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), and
- spread the Christian message of salvation
          (people who evangelize, pray, work, socialize together, and know their faith
           are doing Jesus Christ's loving work).
