We are grateful to God that this year on the 19th July 2026, we shall be celebrating our golden jubilee. We celebrate this milestone with gratitude and honor.
We also thank God for those who were here when the parish was founded and those who are here currently. Many have been baptized, confirmed and blessed their marriages, we are indeed indebted.

About Mt. Carmel
Mount Carmel is a historic, fertile ridge in northern Israel best known in the Bible as the site where the prophet Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal; a dramatic contest that confirmed the Lord as the one true God.
The mountain later became associated with the Carmelite religious tradition and with devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel; the title has long inspired Marian devotions, novenas and the Carmelite spiritual family.
