The Mission of our parish is to serve our neighbors with Jesus, to pray in faith with Jesus, and to teach as His Church with Jesus, so “that all may have more abundant life.” (John 10:10). The Word of God, the Sacraments, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church are the instruments and standards of this work of evangelization and faith formation.

At every Sunday Mass, Catholics confess that Jesus came down from heaven “for us men and for our salvation.” But what does “salvation” mean? In this remarkable 10-part video series, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical, answer. Based on the best-selling book Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know this video series is inspiring, engaging, and accessible. To register for FORMED, please visit www.mountcarmelastoria.formed.org. It’s free! We encourage everyone to use FORMED as a platform for learning and spiritual renewal, especially during these difficult times. For your children, FORMED also has video for all ages as well!

Dear Parishioners, We have endured the Pandemic and Lockdown of 2020. On Thursday, June 20 at 7:30 PM we received the
announcement from our Bishop that we may resume the public celebration of Mass in the parishes of Brooklyn and Queens.
The resumption of Masses will be a three stage process: 1. On Monday, June 29, resumption of daily Mass. For us that means both 8 AM and 12 Noon. 2. On Saturday July 4, the resumption of Sunday Masses. For us that means our usual Mass schedule, starting the
5 PM Saturday night Vigil Mass. (Remember that in the summer, Sunday night Mass is 7 PM, not 5 PM.) 3. Within those limits we may schedule the celebration of First Communion, and according to our bishops’
schedules, Confirmation for youth. However, the process of resuming public Masses will be subject to the same general limits as NY State and
City have imposed on every group gathering: 1. All must wear masks. 2. Social distance of six feet must be maintained. 3. Churches may operate with no more than 25% of seating capacity. 4. Physical contact should be avoided. 5. Hands must be sanitized and surfaces cleansed. 6. Casual groupings are to be avoided.
Our Bishop has issued additional directives for our liturgical celebrations: 1. No processions for entrance, offertory or recessional. 2. Only one lector at a Mass, using a different pulpit than the priest. 3. No passing the basket for collections. Secure Offertory boxes will be at the entrances. Electronic donation is
strongly recommended. 4. No sign of peace or holding hands at the Lord’s Prayer. 5. Communicants must maintain six feet between each other on the communion line. 6. Communion in the hand is strongly suggested. Those who wish to receive on the tongue must wait for the end
of the line to allow for immediate sanitizing if unintentional contact is made. 7. All communion minsters must wear masks and sanitize hands both before and after distributing. No gloves are
to be worn by ministers. 8. No Communion from the chalice. 9. No holy water in the fonts. 10. No use of the Gospel book. 11. Music ministry is limited to instrumentalist and song leader. No choirs at this time. 12. No greeting parishioners after Masses.
To make all this work, we have some parish practices we need to implement: 1. Since there are only 90 seats available now in the upper church (because of social distance), we will have Mass
livestreamed into the lower church (with 60 seats) for the “overflow”, with communion being distributed at the appropriate time.
2. We will also need to have a system of registration for seating at Mass so that we don’t have over-crowding at our Masses.
3. Only one extraordinary Minister (or deacon) at each Mass beside the priest. 4. We will need to cleanse all surfaces after each Mass, for which I will need volunteer help. 5. Likewise we will need additional greeters at the doors to inform and guide our people, especially in the early
weeks. We have endured the Pandemic and Lockdown of 2020….or least Part I of it. Please God there won’t be a Part
II. But that means we must be careful and follow all these directives until further notice. Thank you for your attention, your support and your faithfulness to the Lord Jesus.
Msgr Ogle
Estimados feligreses, Hemos soportado el Pandemia y la Cuarentena de 2020. El jueves 20 de junio a las 7:30 PM recibimos el anuncio de nuestro Obispo de que podemos reanudar la celebración pública de la Santa Misa en las parroquias de Brooklyn y Queens. A. La reanudación de las Misas será un proceso de tres etapas:
1. El lunes 29 de junio, reanudación de la Misa diaria. Para nosotros eso significa tanto 8 AM como 12 del mediodía.
2. El sábado 4 de julio, la reanudación de las Misas dominicales. Para nosotros eso significa nuestro horario habitual de Misa, Incluso Santa Margarita Maria, comenzando la Misa de Vigilia de las 5 PM del sábado por la no-che (recuerde que en el verano, la Misa del domingo por la noche es a las 7 PM, no a las 5 PM).
3. Dentro de esos límites, podemos programar la celebración de la Primera Comunión y, de acuerdo con los horarios de nuestros obispos, la Confirmación para los jóvenes. B. Sin embargo, el proceso de reanudar las Misas públicas estará sujeto a los mismos límites generales que el Es-tado y la Ciudad de Nueva York han impuesto en cada reunión grupal:
1. Todos deben usar máscaras. 2. Se debe mantener una distancia social de seis pies. 3. Las iglesias pueden operar con no más del 25% de la capacidad de asientos. 4. Se debe evitar el contacto físico. 5. Las manos deben ser desinfectadas y las superficies limpias. 6. Se deben evitar las agrupaciones casuales.
C. Nuestro obispo se nos dio directivas adicionales para nuestras celebraciones litúrgicas: 1. No hay procesiones de ingreso, ofertorio o recesivo. 2. Solo un lector en una Misa, usando un púlpito diferente al del sacerdote. 3. No pasar la canasta para las colecciones. Las cajas seguras del ofertorio estarán en las entradas. Se reco-
mienda encarecidamente la donación electrónica. 4. No hay señales de paz o tomarse de las manos en el Padre Nuestro. 5. Los comunicantes deben mantenerse a seis pies entre ellos en la línea de comunión. 6. La comunión en la mano es muy recomendable. Aquellos que deseen recibir en la lengua deben esperar
hasta el final de la línea para permitir la desinfección inmediata si se hace un contacto involuntario. 7. Todos los ministros de la comunión deben usar máscaras y desinfectar las manos antes y después de la
distribución. Los ministros no deben usar guantes. 8. No hay comunión desde el cáliz. 9. No hay agua bendita en las fuentes. 10. No uso del libro del Evangelio. 11. El ministerio musical se limita al instrumentista y líder de la canción. No hay coros en este momento. 12. No saludar a los feligreses después de las misas.
D. Para que todo esto funcione, tenemos algunas prácticas parroquiales que necesitamos implementar: 1. Dado que solo hay 90 asientos disponibles ahora en la iglesia de arriba (debido a la distancia social), ten-
dremos una Misa en vivo en la iglesia de abajo (con 60 asientos) y la comunión se distribuirá en el momento apro-piado.
2. También tendremos que tener un sistema de registro de asientos en la Misa para que no tengamos dema-siada gente en nuestras Misas.
3. Solo un Ministro Extraordinario (o diácono) en cada Misa al lado del sacerdote. 4. Necesitaremos limpiar todas las superficies después de cada Misa, para lo cual necesitaré ayuda volunta-
ria. 5. Del mismo modo, necesitaremos saludos adicionales en las puertas para informar y guiar a nuestra gente,
especialmente en las primeras semanas. Hemos soportado el Pandemia y la Cuarentena de 2020 ... o al menos la Parte I de ella. Por favor, Dios
no habrá una Parte II. Pero eso significa que debemos ser cuidadosos y seguir todas estas directivas hasta nuevo aviso. Gracias por su atención, su apoyo y su fidelidad al Señor Jesús. Mons. Ogle
Dear Parishioner,
I need your help. Our Annual Catholic Appeal’s network of services has had to be flexible in this unprecedent-
ed time, and we anticipate we will need to maintain this response to meet the growing demand for support.
Your partnership is critical as we navigate this situation.
Our mission remains the same, but COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our annual needs.
We now serve over 100,00 meals daily across our Diocese in response to the 300% increase in demand. Over 120 parishes offer daily livestream coverage of Mass and 144 parishes communicate daily with parish-
ioners using social media. Our educators were required to quickly implement innovative distance learning tools. They remain com-
mitted to forming the hearts and minds of our Catholic youth. We have 30 hospital chaplains currently deployed across our boroughs consoling the sick and most vulner-
able. And of course, our devoted clergy, who remain at the frontlines of this pandemic. They continue to enrich
our lives spiritually and have partnered with our network of support services to address the local needs developing across our Diocese.
As a committed parishioner, friend, and Catholic, we need your support to uphold our mission. I am grateful to
the 116 people who have made a generous commitment to the 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal. This unwavering
support has allowed us to reach $38,515 (that is, 59%) of our $64,586 goal. We are only $26,071 away from
our goal.
If you have not made a pledge this year and are able to do so, I ask that you join me in demonstrating that WE ARE THE CHURCH, TOGETHER by considering a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. You may make your gift online at annualcatholicappeal.org or text ACA to 917-336-1255 or call 718-965-7375 ext. 1602 and have a pledge card mailed to your home. We thank you in advance for making a gift commensurate with your means and circumstances!
God love you, Monsignor Sean G. Ogle

Querido Hermano en Cristo, Necesitamos su ayuda. Nuestra red de servicios de la Campaña Católica Anual ha tenido que ser flexible en es-te tiempo sin precedentes, y anticipamos que necesitaremos mantener la misma flexibilidad para satisfacer la creciente demanda de solicitudes de apoyo. Su colaboración es fundamental a medida que navegamos por esta situación.
Nuestra misión sigue siendo la misma, pero COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto significativo en nuestras necesida-des de este año.
Estamos ahora sirviendo más de 100,00 comidas diarias en toda nuestra Diócesis en respuesta a un aumento del 300% a esta necesidad.
Más de 120 parroquias ofrecen cobertura diaria de la Misa y 144 parroquias se comunican diariamen-te con sus feligreses a través de las redes sociales.
Nuestros educadores tuvieron que implementar rápidamente herramientas innovadoras de aprendiza-je a distancia. Siguiendo con el compromiso de formar el corazón y la mente de nuestros jóvenes católicos.
Tenemos 30 capellanes de hospitales actualmente desplegados en nuestros condados consolando a los enfermos y los más vulnerables.
Y, por supuesto, nuestros sacerdotes, que permanecen al frente de esta pandemia. Ellos continúan en-riqueciendo nuestras vidas espiritualmente y están colaborando con nuestra red de servicios de apoyo para abordar las necesidades locales que se desarrollan en toda nuestra Diócesis.
Como feligrés comprometido, amigo y católico, necesitamos su apoyo para mantener nuestra misión. Estoy agradecido por los 116 feligreses que han hecho su compromiso a la Campaña Católica Anual del 2020. Este apoyo inquebrantable nos ha permitido alcanzar $38,515 (que es 59%) de nuestra meta de $64,586. Necesita-mos $26,071 para alcanzar nuestra meta.
Si usted aún no ha hecho su compromiso de este año y puede hacerlo, le pido que se una a mí para demostrar que JUNTOS, SOMOS LA IGLESIA, al considerar su donación a la Campaña Católica Anual. Puede hacer su donación por internet a annualcatholicappeal.org o enviar un mensaje de texto con la palabra ACA al 917-336-1255 o llame al 718-965-7375 ext. 1602 para enviarle una tarjeta de compromiso por correo a su casa. Le agradecemos de antemano por hacer una donación acorde con sus medios y circunstancias.
Dios les cuida, Mons. Sean G. Ogle
