Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church

Transcription

1 Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church Erected in 1936, the entire structure reflects the architectural style developed by missionaries, combining the building patterns of the Pueblo Indians with Spanish-Colonial design. Even the landscaping, with carefully selected shrubs and trees, is typical.

6 Whole Community Faith Sharing Gospel of Mark 7:31-37 Reflection: The news in our world today is all about what awful things are happening in the world around us. There are wars, famines, deceit and killing sprees. The gospel this week tells of another miracle of Jesus, another instance of His 'healing spree'. The deaf and impaired is healed by our loving Savior. Although Jesus asks the crowd to keep this miracle a secret, they cannot hold their tongues. Good news spreads like wildfire. Let's stop concentrating on all the bad news in this world and start spreading the Good News! Question: When has the Word of God penetrated my heart and given me the courage to preach the Good News? Faith Response: I will imitate the action of Jesus and respond with love to those who are hear-impaired, speech-impaired and otherwise physically impaired.

The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.
