Mass for the Sick - All are invited to attend a Mass for the Sick at Carmel Mission Basilica on February 5th at 11:00 am Mass. This is our annual World Day of the Sick Mass sponsored by the Order of Malta in our Diocese. Also, if you know of sick people in your community that would like to attend please feel free to extend this invitation to them. Any sick person attending the Mass should arrive to Carmel Mission by 10:30 am to secure a seat towards the front. |

CDD Today - We heard the story of Jonah who was swallowed by a whale when he didn't do what God asked him to do. Fortunately, the whale taught him a lesson and he repented and went to Nineveh. In the gospel, Jesus tells the people to repent. Some of the children used this time to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Then they discussed how as "fishers of men" they are role models for others and how that might affect the way they behave.
If you have a child that would benefit from CCD classes but your attendance is irregular, we can adjust to than.
Just bring your child downstairs at 8:50. We have choir practice at 8:50 and classes start as promptly as we can
do so at 9 a.m. On the last Sunday of each month, we have choir practice in church until 9:10 because that is
the Sunday the children join in with the regular choir for the recessional hymn. God bless us all. |
|
|
|
Parents and Caregivers - Parents and caregivers, please do not allow your children to leave your sight while at church. Do not allow them to go to the restroom or out to the care alone. Children need to be supervised by a parent or adult at all times while attending any church-related function. Children can never be left unsupervised in a car. |
|
|
|
Attention Teens - Check with someone or let someone know before: going anywhere, accepting anything from other people; getting into a car; leaving with anyone and if anything happens to you tell someone you trust. |
