PRAYER OF THE WEEK January 1, 2014 Mary, the Holy Mother of God O God, who through the fruitful virginity of Blessed Mary bestowed on the human race the grace of eternal salvation; grant, we pray, that we may experience the intercession of her, through whom we were found worthy to receive the author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. TIME Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. Benjamin Franklin The Pillars of Mt. Carmel On March 16, 2014, the parish will be honoring the following individuals for their long term service to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish. Each couple and individual has given heroically their Time, Talent, & Treasure to make Mt. Carmel the special parish it is. We heartily salute: Ed & Florence Dobies (Life long parishioners, both Ed & Florence were Baptized, Confirmed and Married at Mt. Carmel. They have served in a multitude of capacities: Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Bingo Committee, the Church Mice, Senior Citizens Club, Parish Council Leadership, Mt. Carmel Stewards, just to mention a few. Presently, Florence is one of our Trustees.) John Woolley (Coming to us from Plainfield, NJ, John married his beautiful wife, Julia, at Mt. Carmel in He has served our parish faithfully ever since. He has served on and in: the Parish Council, Ushering, President of the Holy Name Society, one of the Church Mice, Mt. Carmel Stewards, the Bingo Committee, and Senior Citizens Club, and is a very faithful Lector. During the 2000 Jubilee Year, he constructed the cross & coat of arms for Pope John Paul II at the jubilee door. These are to mention only a few of his contributions.)

Please mark you calendars and plan on attending this special event in March The first week in January is National Migration week. We remember in our prayers all immigrants. We pray especially for those who have been displaced by war or famine. We also remember all Missionaries. Those who work in foreign lands for the sake of the Gospel. Let us pray too for the homeless. They are migrants every day. The Magi traveled from their homeland to see the Christ child. May we see the Christ child in our travels.
