It has been a custom in our community for the Novice Master to take the Novices on a "tour" of our Province. Last month, Fr. Donald and the Novices visited our houses in Mt. Angel, Oregon and Stanwood, Washington. From November 6 through November 14 they ventured south and visited Redlands & Alhambra (California) and our two parishes in Tucson, Arizona. They also visited our Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart in Alhambra, as well as our Carmelite Nuns, in Alhambra (pictured) and San Diego.
On September 16, 2007, our parishoners at St. Therese Church in Alhambra, California, had the opportunity to attend the Tridentine Mass. Approximately 400 people attended. This traditional Mass will be celebrated at St. Therese Church every 3rd, 4th & 5th Sundays of each month. St. Therese Church was founded by the Anglo-Irish Province of Discalced Carmelite Friars in 1924 and became the first foundation of the California-Arizona Province.
