From the Desk of Father Paul: Dear Parishioners,
It is a real pleasure for me to announce that as of June 9, 2017, the “mortgage” for the Parish Center has been completely PAID OFF! This is a result of your hard work and contributions over the years. Father Lucian, Father Frank, Father James and Father Sean, along with our dear brother, Father Pat, have worked hard with you in order to reach this great moment.
I used quotation marks in the word, “mortgage,” because what we had with the bank was really a business loan instead of a regular mortgage. Nevertheless, there is no longer any debt attached to our Parish Center.
Of course, we will continue to take up a Second Collection at Mass, but with the aim of using the money collected in a Building Fund to finance maintenance and capital improvements for our entire facility. Again, all this is the result of your generous contributions to the support of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish.
May our good God bless you and may our Mother Mary protect you.
Father Paul
OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL

FATHERS DAY PRAYER God our Father, We give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; May they find courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice. We pray for our own Fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; May they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow. We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice. We remember fathers, grandfather, and great grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love.
The Knights of Columbus, Our Lady of Lourdes, Council 5890 from Washingtonville, NY is raising funds to send handicapped children and a parent or guardian to the Marion Shrine of Lourdes, France. This year the knights are sending six young ambassadors on a ten day pilgrimage. They are set to leave on June 22nd and return on July 1st, 2017. The Knights have to raise over $40,000 to cover the cost of this pilgrimage. The Knights do this by selling raffles outside of neighborhood churches throughout Orange and Rockland Counties. We will welcome Walter Kozlowski, and other Knights of Columbus next weekend, June 24th and 25th who will join us to sell tickets after each mass. Please donate to this worthy and vital cause. Thank you.
