Our Campaign Prayer
2004-2007
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, you stand before us leading us to choose life in God, given to us in your Son, Jesus. We now seek to beautify our church, the home of our worship, which is dedicated to you.
In the strength of the generations who have come before us, grant that our choices will be generosity, selflessness and welcome. May we renew a future for everyone who seeks God in our parish community.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
