Carmel Bulletin, 24 December 2017
Welcome to our first weekend of Masses since our new altar was dedicated and new parts of our church blessed for use. To help you become familiar with our renewed church, please take note of the following:
We bless ourselves with holy water as we enter the church to remind us of our baptism. We encourage you to bless yourself directly from the baptismal font in the centre of the church.
The front pew in each section of the church is kneeler-free, which may be of help to those who are unable to kneel, and to those who need easy access in and out of their seat.
Many people use the devotional spaces around the church for their personal prayer. Please feel free to pray at the shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, but only before or after Mass. Stopping at the shrine after receiving communion causes difficulties and disruption for others. The seats in front of the shrine are the perfect place to stop and pray after Mass, while keeping walkways clear. We look forward to the other devotional spaces around the church being completed early in the new year.
