OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL PARISH – BALLUTA

PARISH NOTICES – SUNDAY 24th June 2018

1.   ON TUESDAY, on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish Church in Sliema, we have been invited to take part in the preparations for the feast.  On that day, the 6.30pm mass will be with the participation of representatives from our parish.   Everybody is invited to join us to share the joy of this occasion with one of the parishes which emanated from our parish.

2.  We remind parents who would like their children to attend Catechism classes next September, are kindly requested to collect a form from the parish office, fill it in and return it by 28th June.

3.  On Friday a Gozo by Night is being organised.  Tickets from Doris Mallia or from the parish Office.

4. During this week envelopes for the last collection of donations for the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel will be distributed by the feast’s procurator. This collection will go towards the expenses of installation and bills for the lighting during the Feast period, and also for the four bands taking part on Wednesday, Thursday and the two bands on Sunday evening.  Together with these there are other expenses.  The total sum of expenses amounts to about €12,000. We encourage everybody to do his best in helping us to make a feast worthy of our Patron, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. 

5.    We would like to make a call for volunteers to help the External Feast   Commission in the street decorations for the feast.  Every little help is appreciated.  Who would like to offer help is kindly requested to talk to the parish priest.  We thank you in advance.
