Our Parish Prayer 

God, our Father, bless this parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel so that we may love you more. Help the parents to be a good example to the children and our youth to grow in love and strength as good Christians. 

Encircle our families with your loving care. To the sick grant health, to the aged bring serenity and to those in sorrow joy. 

May we grow stronger in faith and may our love for one another become deeper in our daily living. 

Amen
