 Update February 1st, 2022:

Good afternoon OLMC Family!  Here we are, February 1st can you believe it!?!  Only four months left in this school year.  Reflecting on this had me thinking of the past two years plus that this school has gone through and the impact of so many people over the course of that time which helped us remain successful.  I can’t imagine where we would be without our staff and faculty but equally important, without all of you. 

Catholic Schools Week gives us an opportunity to celebrate our faith and our students.  As more and more Catholic schools are closing throughout our country, ours continues to flourish.  As anyone who attended the 11:00 o’clock mass this past Sunday can attest, our school makes a difference; our students make a difference; and YOU make a difference in how successful we can be here at Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  Believe me, it is easy to get caught up in negativity and fear; it is understandable to get wrapped up in the defeated attitude that the devil would prefer us to be in.  However, as I stood in mass on Sunday my feelings were affirmed that these negative sentiments cannot survive in an environment which God Himself is leading.  Don’t be confused, that doesn’t mean it is always going to be easy.  If anything, these past two years have proved that.  Likewise, they have proved that God is stronger than whatever we could possibly face. 

On behalf of our school and our children, I want to thank you for all your prayers, your support, and your involvement in our school both current and future.  Our success is predicated on your commitment.  I firmly believe that the success we have enjoyed gives evidence to that commitment.  I look forward to seeing our students continue to thrive and grow and, with your continued prayers, see our school continue to do that same thing. 

Thank you.  May God continue to bless you, your families. 

Our Lady of Mount Carmel: Pray for us.
