We welcome all families to join our Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and St. Clare Parish family. Classes and meetings are on Wednesday evenings, starting in September, from 6:30 p.m. -7:30 p.m. in our Parish School. Children will enter Faith Formation following the procedure listed below. 

The Faith Formation program provides instruction for children in grades K-8 on Wednesday evenings. Children learn about the Sacraments, Church Doctrine, and Traditions of the Catholic Church.*

A reminder that two (2) consecutive years of religious education are needed for all sacraments.

Jesus called for the children, saying: "Let the little children come to me. Do not shut them off. The reign of God belongs to such as these. Trust me when I tell you that whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as a child will not enter into it." Luke 18:16-17.
