Notre Dame of Mount Carmel is a Roman Catholic community of faith called to be missionary disciples of Jesus Christ for the purpose of bringing about the Kingdom.
Formed by the Word, fed at the Table, and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we
INVITE,
WELCOME and
GUIDE each other into a relationship with Christ,
to GO OUT
and MAKE missionary disciples.
God calls us to build a relationship with Him. It is vital that we offer a spirit of WELCOME, openness, and kindness to help individuals and families experience a sense of belonging and hope for a lifelong spiritual journey.
God’s grace is poured out at the
doors of Notre Dame of Mt. Carmel!
Whatever one’s point of entry - Mass, a ministry program or event, or a casual conversation, we strive to make that encounter a transforming experience where God’s grace can touch their lives with hope and a path toward spiritual growth and mission.
As we become engaged in the community, so does our desire to grow in our faith. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the many opportunities we offer, we encounter Christ, grow as disciples, and help BUILD leaders of our community and the Church.
In a spirit of mission and generosity, we SEND our members to serve through our many ministries and social outreach programs, sharing with those in need His love in action.
Many of you have heard me cite one of my favorite sayings: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” In our parish, we are going far together with the blessing of God’s grace!
How does Notre Dame fulfill our mission of spreading the Gospel and caring for those in need? The answer lies in our parishioners’ generosity. Giving to our offertory collections has an immediate and significant impact.
Here are just a few ways we’ve been able to move forward together since our last Funding Our Mission initiative in the Fall of 2021:
We have many more steps to go on our missionary journey. And so, we are again inviting everyone at Notre Dame to participate in sustained giving to fulfill the mission of drawing all to Christ. Together, we will go far!
May our Lord God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit continue to bless you and your loved ones.
