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.
Mr. Swann – Principal
