VOCATIONS FROM MOUNT CARMEL CATHOLIC CHURCH
(This page prepared by
Marilu Underberg Thurman)
The Mount Carmel Parish has been blessed with a fair number of
men and women who have answered God’s call to the dedicated life in the
priesthood and religious life. The names are listed below. Father Joseph
Finnegan was not a member of Mount Carmel when ordained, but was baptized at
Mount Carmel. The Finnegan family had moved to Carroll sometime before he was
ordained. All of the vocations to the priesthood have been to the Diocese of
Sioux City. Two men have become Brothers of the Holy Cross.
Twenty-nine ladies are listed below from Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish
who have entered the religious life. Three of these were baptized at Mount
Carmel, but entered from other parishes. Twenty-eight have entered the
Franciscans of Perpetual Adoration, LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Sister Rose Zita
Rosonke has entered Our Lady of Victory Missionaries, Huntington, Indiana.
