Please click on the welcome image for an overview of parish life at Notre dame of mt. carmel church!

We invite you to fill out and submit the Connection Form (please note this is not a parishioner registration form).  We will contact you within a day or two to schedule some time (20 minutes or so) for an informal conversation -- in person at the church, or via Zoom -- at a time convenient for you.  This will be a very casual chat simply to welcome more personally, hear about you/your family, and share with you about our parish and the many opportunities available to support your spiritual journey.  

We look forward to hearing from you!

"When I filled out my contact information on the website I didn’t know what to expect.  I had already tried a few churches but had not felt a “connection.” When the Communications Director (Cristina Folan) emailed me and introduced herself, we set a time to chat on Zoom.  She was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, and personalized our conversation to what I needed and was looking for.  I told her of my desire to reconnect with God, find a church and a community where I can learn and grow.  She shared several opportunities for me to do so, many of which I have experienced and have very much appreciated.  Her kind words made me feel that I wasn’t alone in my faith journey.  She has given me tremendous guidance and tools where I can reconnect with God,  the Church, and the community.  What a wonderful and nurturing experience.  I felt and continue to feel so welcomed and included.” Yvonne Orchison-Yip
 

"We have heard numerous times what a wonderful church environment exists at Notre Dame, notably the family formation program that is next to none for young children!"

 

"Seriously...one day I went online and had an urge to register with Notre Dame...I’d only been there once for a funeral about 10 years before. I was invited to come in for a conversation, and so I did. I remember driving there that day with the sun through my windshield. Little did I know what God had in store for me... I am so happy to have found the Notre Dame community - which has helped me to strengthen my faith and continue my journey with the Lord."

"Thank you so much for speaking with me yesterday. I think it’s really nice that you take the time to welcome new parishioners. It really makes people feel included and like they are part of the church family."  

"I was first introduced to the parish when I joined DivorceCare and then I attended the Women's Cornerstone Retreat. I am not doing DivorceCare for the 2nd time and I am a team member for Cornerstone. From my 1st interaction with members of the parish, I felt welcomed and accepted. I have enjoyed both groups that I have been a part of and look forward to making new friends and strengthening my faith."
