Carmel of Jesus, Mary and Joseph of Kensington, California

“Dearest friends and visitors of our Carmelite Chapel here in Kensington, Ca.,
It is with deep joy that we share with you the happy news that on February 6th, our dear Shepherd of the Oakland Diocese, Bishop Michael Barber, S.J., kindly notified us that our Chapel may be reopened once again to welcome the public for Holy Mass, (following the required 25% of occupancy, & that our visitors continue to follow social distancing & wear a face covering).

We are most grateful to Our dear Lord for this merciful blessing, to be able to welcome you all once again to join us to pray and adore our beloved Lord at Holy Mass. (*Please note: There will be public Masses available as shown on the posted schedule here,- except on Tuesdays, when there will be no public Mass, though from 9:00am until 5:30pm, our Chapel will still be opened for private prayer.)

With the promise of the remembrance of you, and your dear loved ones, in our daily prayers and sacrifices, with deepest gratitude and affection, asking our dear Lord to keep you safe, well in His provident, and loving care,

Your devoted Carmelite Sisters of Kensington.”
