Welcome to the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel website! We are a parish of about 1,000 families. We have a wonderful Catholic elementary school,in partnership with St Therese that serves students in grades K-6. Our parish has a fine religious education program serving students who are not part of our parish school program.

My name is Father Donald Gibbs, O.S.B. and I am a Benedictine Monk of St. Benedict's Abbey at Benet Lake, Wisconsin. Archbishop Timothy Dolan, former Archbishop of Milwaukee, appointed me pastor here at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel at Kenosha Wisconsin.

We are a Christ-centered faith community that believes in Jesus’ love for all people, so hospitality is one of our core values. We are working hard to have a vibrant parish community that can offer something for everyone. We are in the midst of an exciting time. Please take a few minutes to look at our programs and even better come and pray with us some weekend.

Our Bishops write, “The parish is where the Church lives. Parishes are communities of faith, of action, and of hope. They are where the gospel is proclaimed and celebrated, where believers are formed and sent to renew the earth. Parishes are the home of the Christian community; they are the heart of our Church. Parishes are the place where God's people meet Jesus in word and sacrament and come in touch with the source of the Church's life.” Communities of Salt and Light: Reflections on the Social Mission of the Parish, 1993.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions on how we might serve you better, please get in touch with me. It would be my pleasure to hear from you.
