Dear Visitor:

Thank you for visiting our website. If you have recently visited Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church for your worship enrichment, I welcome you! My hope is that you found our Parish a warm, welcoming and inspirational environment.

If you would like to make Our Lady of Mount Carmel your home parish, I invite you to contact the Parish Office to request a Census Form.  You may also download the form by clicking this link.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish was established in 1923 with the designation of an ethic-Italian parish, which means we have no physical boundaries in accepting new parishioners. We strive to meet the spiritual as well as the social needs of various ethnicities to keep us energized and motivated. Together we will continue in faith, hope and love to serve the needs of one another and in doing so lead others to Christ.

I strive to provide opportunities for every parishioner to share their time, talents and treasures with us. Opportunities are available by joining the Holy Name Society; offered to the men of the parish, the Knights of Columbus Council #36, the St. Ann Society and Altar Society, open to the women of the parish, the Forever Young Seniors, open to men and woman 65 and over, and we welcome volunteers for both our Adult and Youth Choirs, our annual OLMC Feast in July, catechist for our Religious Education program and our OLMC Bingo every Thursday at our School, among other possibilities to become actively involved in the parish.

Please feel free to introduce yourself to me at Mass.  It is important to me to make a personal connection with each person who has chosen this beautiful parish.

Again, thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Browse around our site, come join us for worship, or if we can answer any questions, please feel free to contact the Rectory. We also have a link to our Catholic school and encourage you to visit that site as well.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel continue to bless you as you try each day to become more like her divine son.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Frederick M. Aniello,  Pastor

May the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel watch over and protect us

A PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL

O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me that you are my Mother, O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady of the Brown Scapular, I am your child, clothe me with your own virtues. Have pity and protect me from all harm. Lord God, Father of all, may the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Queen of Carmel, protect all her children and bring us closer to Jesus Christ, Your Son. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
