At Our Lady of Mt Carmel, faith is at the heart of who we are. We are a welcoming Catholic community where every child is known, valued and encouraged to grow in faith, knowledge, compassion and hope. Our Catholic identity comes alive each day through classroom prayer, liturgies, prayer assemblies, celebration days, pastoral care and opportunities for families to gather in faith through our parish Family Masses.
Our Religious Education program provides students with rich opportunities to explore the Catholic faith, develop their understanding of God, themselves, others and the world, and discover how faith can guide the way they live and care for others. Inspired by our Carmelite tradition, we seek to help children recognise and celebrate Christ in our living, finding God in the ordinary moments of everyday life.
We believe that a child’s faith journey is enriched through a strong partnership between family, school and parish. Families are warmly invited to participate in the prayer and liturgical life of our school, strengthening their own connection to our faith community and supporting their child’s spiritual growth.
Our close relationship with Our Lady of Mt Carmel Parish and Regina Caeli Parish further strengthens this partnership. Sacramental preparation occurs through the parish, with our school proudly supporting children and families as they take these important steps in their faith journey.
Whether your family has a strong connection with the Catholic faith, is returning to faith, or is beginning to explore it, we warmly welcome you to discover a community where faith, learning, belonging and love come together.
Parish Sacramental Program
Currently in the Archdiocese of Brisbane sacraments are events prepared for and celebrated in the local parish community - i.e. the parish in which your family regularly worships. If you attend Mount Carmel Church and if your child is baptised and in Year 3 or upwards in his/her formal education your child is eligible to prepare to receive Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist through participation in the parish sacrament preparation process. (If you worship elsewhere please enquire at your local parish office for details of their preparation for these sacraments.
Enrolments for these Sacraments will be advertised in the Parish Newsletter, Our Lady of Mt Carmel School Newsletter and a number of Newsletters of local schools. Please contact Our Lady of Mt Carmel Parish Office on (07) 3397 1587 (Tues-Fri) if you have any questions regarding this program.
