CATHOLIC CHARITIES
OPERATION RICE BOWL
Hungering To Build Community Palm Sunday
We follow Jesus this week on our Lenten journey
as he enters Jerusalem, a community he knew well.
CRS Rice Bowl asks us to prayerfully enter into
our own communities, to find those who are
hungry and thirsty, those who need our help. How
does our Lenten journey motivate us to serve those
we encounter in our daily lives?
Visit www.crsricebowl.org to learn more.

The Parish Center is available for rental to both Parishioners and Non-Parishioners for weddings, parties (birthdays, Baptisms, anniversary, etc.) or meetings. For more infor-mation please call Greg Sillen at: 845-282-4267.
ENCYCLICAL ON THE ENVIRONMENT
To some people, Pope Francis’s recent encyclical on
caring for the earth and the poor seemed like a bolt out
of the blue. But it’s actually part of a long tradition of
papal social encyclicals, dating back at least to Pope
Leo XIII’s 1891 encyclical, “On the Condition of
Labor.” And like Pope Leo, Pope Francis criticizes the
economic order for the harm it does to ordinary
people, as well as to the earth on which all God’s
creatures depend. To learn more about the Catholic
social encyclical tradition, Google: USCCB Blog:
social encyclical primer.
WHERE THERE’S A WILL… Creating a will is an important way to record and
remember what matters most to you, including
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The Endowment Fund of
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is here to help you understand
the advantage of creating a will and how you can give
it in a way to do greater good through a bequest to
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel’s Endowment Fund. What
better way to leave your legacy than in the love of
Jesus Christ. For more information contact Fr. Sean at
