RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying. RCIA is for three groups of people:
Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
For more information please speak to a priest after Mass or call the parish office. We would love to help you on your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church. -

Please call the rectory office and give the name and address of the person or persons who would like to receive the meal.
We will build this program based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ "I was hungry and you gave me food, a stranger and you welcomed me, ill and you cared for me." -

Mt. Carmel Cemetry
Mt. Carmel Roads: Following the advice from the Catholic Cemeteries OIce for the Diocese of Springfield, I have made a decision of closing Mt. Carmel cemetery for the winter season. We are hoping for just light snow on Christmas so that you can visit graves of your family members. Our legitimate reason and ONLY reason to close Mt. Carmel Cemetery is because of the new oil and stone roads that were done back in July. This was a very costly (26,800.00) project and winter plowing on the first year after the project was done might destroy the roads. We can’t take any chances of that happening. We are very sorry for any problems that this may cause.
