Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Catholic Church

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the family and friends of Phyllis Jensen who passed away on Wednesday, July 20. Her funeral will be held on Friday, July 30th at 11:00AM at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Visitation  will be one hour prior at 10:00AM. There will be a luncheon following at Noon at the church. 
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.

As the pandemic subsides, and public gathering restrictions and safety protocols are lifted, it is time to gather as the Body of Christ once again. Therefore, the bishops and diocesan administrators of the Minnesota Catholic Conference have decided to reinstate the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation beginning the weekend of July 3-4, 2021. 

Even after that time, there remains reasons why a Catholic have a dispensation from the Sunday obligation, including when he or she is ill or serving as caretaker for one who cannot attend Mass. The faithful who do not attend Mass in person are asked to find a Mass on TV, the radio or online and make a Spiritual Communion. Where that is not an option, it would be appropriate to pray the Liturgy of the Hours or the Rosary.   

Read about this decision, and find examples of special circumstances when a dispensation would still apply, in recent letters from Archbishop Hebda and the Minnesota bishops.
