Prayer Before Using the Internet
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Chapel has adopted Our Lady as it’s patron under the title, Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Under this title, the Blessed Virgin Mary entrusted the Brown Scapular and the promises which adhere to the Catholic Church through the Order of Preachers.
St Joseph & Child
The Chapel is also dedicated to St Joseph. O Saint Joseph, do assist us by your powerful intercession and obtain for us from your divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having experienced here below your heavenly power, we may offer our thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.

Reception of Holy Communion
Domine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum: Sed tantum dic verbo et sanabitur anima mea.
Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed.
Holy Communion
All Roman Catholics in the state of sanctifying grace are welcomed to receive Holy Communion. Non-Catholics and those who do not accept the Traditional teachings of the Catholic Church in matters of Faith and Morals are not to receive Communion at Mass.
Communion Fast
A three hour fast is recommended before receiving Holy Communion, although a one hour fast is presently binding under Church Law. Those who can fast from midnight for morning Mass are encouraged to do so.
How to Receive Holy Communion
Kneel at the rail, following the other communicants. As the priest comes toward you, close your eyes, extend your tongue, and remain perfectly still. Do not say Amen.
Dress with Modesty and Dignity
Out of respect for Our Lord and mutual edification, men and women should dress with modesty and dignity.
Ladies, according to apostolic custom, are asked to have their heads covered in the Chapel with either a hat or a ladies’ chapel veil. Chapel veils are available in the Chapel vestibule for those who don’t have one. Dresses or skirts are the proper attire, and these should be mid-calf (even if one is wearing stockings or leggings). Slacks or trousers do not meet the norms of Christian modesty for ladies, nor do dresses that are sleeveless, low cut, or shorter than mid-calf.
For Gentlemen, a coat and tie are most fitting (jeans, t-shirts, and shorts are not appropriate attire for Church).
Missals
The Chapel in most instances uses the Pre '55 Eucharistic Calendar and Altar Missal
Those assisting at Masses at the Chapel typically will use the St Andrew or the Father Lasance Missals; however the other Missals are suitable for most Masses
