Over the Holidays.
The College takes its name and a lot of its inspiration from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish.
The feast day for Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast Day is fast approaching on Sunday 17 July!
The day involves morning mass with Bishop Brian, followed by a procession with the statue of Our Lady, a free multicultural lunch feast, and a free concert.
I encourage you and your family to come along and support this Parish.

Macarthur Catholic schools rally together to support Tongan Disaster Appeal
Many thanks to all the staff, students and Mount Carmel Catholic College community for supporting the appeal with their generous donations and prayers for the people of Tonga. Thank you for allowing the College to be involved and advertising the appeal.
It was truly a community effort that touched the hearts of schools, parish and the wider community.
The shipping date, unfortunately, has (again) been delayed but we are hoping to have a small blessing ceremony at the site on Saturday, July 2 to farewell the donations and pray for a safe voyage to Tonga.
