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.

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.
