Our Lady of Mount Carmel

I smile when I see this fine place of worship

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Hastings is a really nice small town Church. The Priest, Fr. Joseph has done a wonderful job keeping this Parish traditional. Fr. Joseph is very caring, his Homily is always thought provoking and his attention to detail is amazing!

A beautiful Church. Nice Priest and good Sermon.

This is a really beautiful church in Hastings though a bit small.
There is no modern touch to it as we nowadays see.The priest does not use a mike to talk as we are used to these days.
No alter servers were present when I heard Mass.
Something i really like was the communion part - instead of walking in line to the pulpit like we normally do there was a place to kneel down up front.
Fr Joe personally kneels everyone down and gives them communion.I thought it was wonderful.
They have these huge windows with colored glass of Our Lady, Jesus etc - figures carved on the glass.When the sun shines through them it's such a beautiful sight.
There was also a lot of wood used in the Church which once again lends an old touch.
