Our beloved parish of Notre Dame of Mt. Carmel is turning 100 years old this year! While July 5, 1925, is the official date of our church dedication, July 5, 2025, will mark just the beginning of a year-long centennial celebration filled with FAITH, fellowship, gratitude, MISSION, and HOPE!

Kick-Off CelebrationSave the Date Now! On Saturday, July 12, at the 5 p.m. Vigil Mass, Bishop Kevin Sweeney will join us to celebrate sacramentally our extraordinary milestone. The Mass will be followed by a social gathering on our premises, where we will come together as a community to share and celebrate our amazing faith journey. We will need several "hands on deck" to plan and execute the day's celebrations, so stay tuned for opportunities to offer your gifts and talents!

Commemorative Project
Our Deacons and their wives (Dcn. Joe and Karen Harris and Dcn. Eric and Debby Kispert) are lovingly spearheading this initiative to bring to our parish community a "visible and beautiful mark" of our centennial.

Telling Our Story
A team is being assembled to search for, collect, sort through, and organize all types of content so that we can share our 100-year-old story now and in the years to come. There are so many components to this effort, and this is perhaps one of the most vital and meaningful opportunities for all who are or have been part of the parish to be included in our storytelling. Your memories, memorabilia, experiences, and reflections will help us honor the legacy of Notre Dame of Mt. Carmel and those who have made an impact on its journey.

Celebrating our Lady & Patroness
Each year, we have the opportunity to celebrate Our Lady and Patroness, Notre Dame of Mt. Carmel, whose feast day is July 16. In this, our centennial year, we want to lift this celebration in a special way, in gratitude for our Patroness's accompaniment and intercession throughout these past 100 years! More details will follow.
