Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish
Priesthood Sunday is a special day set aside to honor priesthood in the United States. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church as a central one. This nationwide event is coordinated and sponsored by the US Council of Serra International. Please join our parish in praying the attached prayer for priests today and throughout the week. In addition, please pray for members of the clergy and religious orders, past, present and future, on a daily basis using the prayer calendar linked below.
The Vocations Committee at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish is dedicated to providing prayerful support for all clergy and religious, both in our parish and worldwide. Tom Dionese serves as chairman and Deacon David Witter serves as moderator/facilitator.
