May 19 - 20, our parish will take up the Collection for the Catholic Communication Campaign. This collection communicates the Gospel through Catholic social media activities and enriches our Faith through podcasts, television, radio, and print media. Half of all proceeds remain in our Archdiocese, so please be generous.
A vision and plan for the future of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese is being developed. The plan will set the direction for Catholic schools to be stronger and even more effective in their mission. As part of the process, a survey is being conducted online and your participation is very important. The survey will measure attitudes and perceptions as well as assess needs and priorities for Catholic schools. Please go online to www.meitler.com/survey.asp and take the survey. It is short and easy. Thank you in advance for giving your opinions. We must hear from as many as possible, so please make sure you complete a survey no later than May 21, 2012.
It's that time of year to start thinking about either volunteering yourself or someone else to run for Parish Pastoral Council. If you or someone you know would like to serve the parish in this way, please contact Walt Patras. A candidate has to be at least 18, a member of the parish, and a practicing Catholic in good standing. Thank you for considering (or volunteering someone else).
Reminder for your calendar: Archbishop Lucas will be celebrating Mass with us here at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on 24 June at 10 am, followed by a potluck. We are celebrating 125 years as a Catholic Community in Tilden. This event is very important to have all parishioners attend.
