The Mission of our parish is to serve our neighbors with Jesus, to pray in faith with Jesus, and to teach as His Church with Jesus, so “that all may have more abundant life.” (John 10:10). The Word of God, the Sacraments, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church are the instruments and standards of this work of evangelization and faith formation.

PURGATORIAL SOCIETY We pray for the souls in Purgatory every first Friday of the month. You may enroll names in the Purgatorial Society to be prayed for one year for a donation of $10.00. Currently Enrolled: Robert Russo Jr., Francisco Quintera, Miguelina Acevedo.
Annual Catholic Appeal 2020 We have begun the 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal. We thank all who have participated with a gift to the 2019 Appeal and ask that everyone prayerfully consider making a gift to the 2020 appeal. The works and services made possible through your donation to the Annual Catholic Appeal help people in Brooklyn & Queens in ways that no one parish can do alone. Please remain assured that your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal cannot be used in the settlement of abuse claims or for anything other than their intended purpose. As of August 3, 2020 we have 142 pledges totaling $48,000 towards our parish goal of 64,586. So far we have received more than $37,000. Thank you for your support.
WEEKLY OFFERINGS: In the absence of Mass attendance, we will be grateful if you can remember your weekly offerings to the church, either through the mail or dropping them through the rectory mail slot; whether weekly, monthly, or when the emergency is over and Masses resume. This might be a good opportunity to start doing your church offerings electronically. Just visit FaithDirect.com, and register entering our parish code: NY370. We thank you for your loyal support. EL DIEZMO SEMANAL: En ausencia de asistencia a la Santa Misa, estaremos agradecidos si puede recordar sus ofrendas semanales a la parroquia, ya sea a través del correo o dejarlas a través de la ranura de correo de la rectoría; ya sea semanal, mensualmente o cuando la emergencia haya terminado y las Misas se reanuden. Esta podría ser una buena oportunidad para comenzar a hacer sus ofrendas de la parroquia electrónicamente. Simple-mente visite FaithDirect.com, y regístrese ingresando nuestro código parroquial: NY370. Le agradecemos su leal apoyo.
Please note that the Czech Mass will continue to be conducted in the Institute, not the lower church.
SECOND COLLECTION FOR FR. PJ’S MISSION SCHOOL WILL BE ON AUGUST 8 & 9, 2020. All donations are very much appreciated.
The Altar Bread and Wine are being offered for Joan Marie Sapienza. This was requested by Mike Peacook. The Sanctuary Lamp is burning for John Baut. The Altar Candles are burning for Justina & Filippo DiRico. This was requested by their Grandchildren.
FROM THE OGLE OFFICE By the time you read this letter, our parish will have completed all our first sacrament celebrations for both our young people and adults. We believe that we are among the first parishes in our diocese to complete these celebrations after the resumption of public Masses shut down by the Covid crisis. These celebrations were the result of visionary planning, communication and pastoral care led by our Coordinator of Religious Education, Nelly Gutiérrez, and implemented by our parish youth catechists and adult catechists and mentors in the RCIA/RICA programs in English and Spanish. They all deserve our recogni-tion and thanks for implementing this essential part of our Christian mission and parish apostolate. The celebrations in question were: Saturday July 11: First Confessions for grade-schoolers (51) Saturday, July 18: First Holy Communion for grade schoolers (51) Friday, July 24: Adult Full Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion- 5) and completed initiation (2) Friday July 31: Adult Confirmation and/or First Communion (14) Saturday, July 8: Youth Confirmation (56) with Bishop Cisneros In particular, this week’s edition of the Tablet, our Diocesan newspaper has a fine article about our First Communion Masses, complete with a unique collage of the children created by Reyna & Eduardo: https://thetablet.org/our-lady-of-mount-carmel-celebrates-first-communion/ With these events completed, we have a “clean slate” to enter into the new pastoral year of adult and youth religious ed-ucation in September. We are now taking registration until September 18 for religious education (CCD) for all youngsters in public school who need to complete their sacraments. Parents are reminded that every Catholic child should be in religious education every year they are in school, not only the year or two before receiving a sacrament. Registration forms have been mailed to all currently enrolled students. You may also pick one up at the rectory office which is now open Monday to Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM. We also are taking registration for any adult who wishes to receive their sacraments or enter the Catholic Church. Please contact Monsignor Ogle at [email protected], or speak with Deacon Rubén Mendez at the Spanish Mass. Finally, please remember there will be a second collection on the weekend of August 15-16 for the Mission School in Nigeria of Father Peter Nwadimkpa (Father PJ).
Msgr. Sean G. Ogle
DE LA OFICINA DEL PASTOR Para cuando lea esta carta, nuestra parroquia habrá completado todas nuestras celebraciones de los primeros sacramentos
para nuestros jóvenes y adultos. Creemos que estamos entre las primeras parroquias de nuestra diócesis en completar estas cele-braciones después de la reanudación de las Santas Misas públicas cerradas por la crisis de Covid. Estas celebraciones fueron el re-sultado de una visión integral de planificación, comunicación y atención pastoral dirigida por nuestra Coordinadora de Educación Religiosa, Nelly Gutiérrez, e implementada por nuestros catequistas juveniles y catequistas adultos y mentores en los programas RICA / RICA en inglés y español. Todos merecen nuestro reconocimiento y agradecimiento por implementar esta parte esencial de nuestra misión cristiana y el apostolado de la parroquia. Las celebraciones en cuestión fueron: • Sábado 11 de julio: primeras confesiones para estudiantes de primaria (51) • Sábado 18 de julio: Primera Comunión para estudiantes de primaria (51) • Viernes, 24 de julio: Iniciación completa de adultos (Bautismo, Confirmación y Sagrada Comunión-5) e iniciación completa (2) • Viernes 31 de julio: Confirmación de adultos y / o primera comunión (14) • Sábado 8 de julio: confirmación juvenil (56) con el obispo Cisneros
En particular, la edición de esta semana de la tableta, nuestro periódico diocesano tiene un excelente artículo sobre nues-tras Misas de Primera Comunión, completo con un collage único de los niños creado por Reyna y Eduardo: https://thetablet.org/our-lady-of -mount-carmel-celebra-primera-comunión /
Con estos eventos completados, tenemos una "pizarra limpia" para entrar en el nuevo año pastoral de educación religiosa para adultos y jóvenes en septiembre. Ahora estamos registrando hasta el 18 de septiembre para la educación religiosa (CCD) para todos los jóvenes en la escuela pública que necesitan completar sus sacramentos. Se les recuerda a los padres que cada niño católi-co debe estar en educación religiosa cada año que está en la escuela, no solo el año o dos antes de recibir un sacramento. Los for-mularios de inscripción han sido enviados por correo a todos los estudiantes actualmente matriculados. También puede recoger uno en la oficina de la rectoría, que ahora está abierta de lunes a viernes de 1 p.m. a 5 p.m.
También estamos registrando a cualquier adulto que desee recibir sus sacramentos o ingresar a la Iglesia Católica. Comu-níquese con Monseñor Ogle a [email protected], o hable con el Diácono Rubén Méndez en la Misa en español.
Por último, recuerde que habrá una segunda colección el fin de semana del 15 al 16 de agosto para la Escuela de Misión en Nigeria del Padre Peter Nwadimkpa (Padre PJ).
Mons. Sean G. Ogle
Hello from Nigeria Greetings: Dear Friends, Father Peter Nwadimkpa (PJ) sends you greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I always look forward to being with you and to share great moments together every summer. This year unfortunately, it has be-come impossible because of the virus. I pray God to protect you in His love and for a vaccine to be developed to the glory of His name. I remain ever grateful for your donations in support of our school and the kids especially those who live in the dormitory. There are improvements in the renovations of dilapidate structures. Bathrooms for general students (about 500) have been completed; current classrooms have been renovated; current work-shops have been renovated; student’s kitchen is under construction; etc. Challenges: Last year we had an increase in the number of students living in the dormitory (from 160 to 230). Most of them come from very poor families but are ready to study hard for a better future for themselves and their families. Hence there is need for a new dormitory to accommodate the increasing number of students which is currently under construction. Also the CORONAVIRUS presents a serious challenge for the school, because the available classrooms cannot accommodate the number of students following the 2 meters COVID 19 guideline. The school is under pressure for more classrooms space. To address this problem, we cannot do new classrooms but we can complete the classroom building left over the years. In order to prepare for the resumption of schools, there are COVID 19 requirements for safety of students, part of which include more space in classrooms; isolation space, constant water supply, medical equipment like infrared thermometer, medicine, sanitizers, and so on. On behalf of our students, I make a passionate appeal for your assistance and support for our school and the kids at this challenging time. I sincerely thank the Pastor Msgr. Sean and other assistant Priests. I am grateful to those who help to provide you the necessary information/photos about our school situation. I really appreciate you all and just know that you’re awesome. Once again may God bless you, your family and loved ones abundantly, amen Hola de nigeria Saludos: Queridos amigos, el padre Peter Nwadimkpa (PJ) les envía saludos en el nombre del Señor Jesucristo. Siempre es-pero estar con ustedes y compartir grandes momentos juntos cada verano. Este año, lamentablemente, se ha vuel-to imposible debido al virus. Ruego a Dios que te proteja en su amor y que se desarrolle una vacuna para la gloria de su nombre. Siempre estoy agradecido por sus donaciones en apoyo de nuestra escuela y los niños, especialmente aquellos que viven en el dormitorio. Hay mejoras en las renovaciones de estructuras en ruinas. Se han completado baños para estudiantes generales (alrededor de 500); las aulas actuales han sido renovadas; los talleres actuales han sido renovados; la cocina del estudiante está en construcción; etc. Desafíos: El año pasado tuvimos un aumento en el número de estudiantes que viven en el dormitorio (de 160 a 230). La mayoría de ellos provienen de familias muy pobres pero están listos para estudiar mucho para un futuro mejor para ellos y sus familias. Por lo tanto, existe la necesidad de un nuevo dormitorio para dar cabida al creciente número de estudiantes que se encuentra actualmente en construcción. Además, el CORONAVIRUS presenta un serio desafío para la escuela, porque las aulas disponibles no pueden acomodar el número de estudiantes que siguen la guía COVID 19 de 2 metros. La escuela está bajo presión por más espacio en las aulas. Para abordar este problema, no podemos hacer nuevos salones de clase, pero podemos completar el edificio de salones dejado con los años. Para prepararse para la reanudación de las escuelas, hay requisitos COVID 19 para la seguridad de los estudiantes, parte de los cuales incluyen más espacio en las aulas; espacio de aislamiento, suministro constante de agua, equipo médi-co como termómetro infrarrojo, medicamentos, desinfectantes, etc. En nombre de nuestros estudiantes, hago un llamamiento apasionado por su ayuda y apoyo para nuestra escuela y los niños en este momento desafiante. Agradezco sinceramente al pastor Mons. Sean y otros sacerdotes asistentes. Agradezco a quienes ayudan a proporcionarle la información / fotos necesarias sobre nuestra situación escolar. Realmente los aprecio a todos y solo sé que son geniales. Una vez más, que Dios los bendiga a usted, a su familia y a sus seres queridos en abundancia. Amén.

In this remarkable 10-part video series, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical, answer. Based on the best-selling book Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know this video series is inspiring, engaging, and accessible.
