Month of Remembrance. In our Catholic tradition, we remember in a special way all of our deceased relatives and friends during November. Here at Mt. Carmel, we have Special Masses next Sunday November 2. To enroll your loved ones, please use the envelopes included in your envelope packets. (Extra envelopes are found at the entrances of the church.) The envelopes may be placed in any collection or mailed to the rectory before November 1. All Souls Candles will be available this weekend at the church entrances. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Saturday s Solemnity of All Saints and Sunday s Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls) fit well at the beginning of November. The liturgical readings of this final month in the Church year are keyed to the end of time and the fulfillment of Jesus saving acts. Nowhere is this more fully celebrated than in Mexico, where November 2 is the Day of the Dead. Missionaries moved an ancient Aztec festival from midsummer to November, linking the festival to Christian themes. Today, it is a time for remembering the dead and celebrating the continuity of life, principally by festive picnics in cemeteries. There are special foods and games, and people socialize with other families and tell favorite stories about their dear ones. The sweetness of life is honored by sugary desserts and treats. Flowers, music, lights, and feasting assure that the day is not at all morbid. Traditionally, the day begins with Mass, a procession to the cemetery, and a morning feast. Most families have a special dinner with the pan de muerto, or bread of the dead. A toy skeleton is baked into the loaf, and the one who bites into it is considered lucky indeed. The dead are not feared, but deeply loved, and this joyful family feast points both to age-old customs and Resurrection faith. INCLUSIVE LOVE Love of our neighbor is included in the love of God. St. Thomas Aquinas
As Winter approaches, we at OLMC will again try to help alleviate some of the suffering of our homeless and neighborhood poor.

Next month we honor and pray for our deceased relatives and friends. One of the ways we, as Catholics, have honored our dead is by Memorial Items. Our church is an historical testimony to the love of individuals and families who have honored their loved ones. Over the years, people have dedicated Windows, Tabernacles, Statues, Vestments, Chalices, Censors, Holy Water Fonts, Memorial Candle stands, and other Liturgical items for the edification of all who worship here. Make a tour of our church. Observe the beautiful statues, paintings and liturgical items. Read the dedications. Say a prayer for those whose families gifted Mt. Carmel with such treasures. If you are interested in donating something to the Parish in memory of a loved one, please contact Msgr. Ron.

Wspominamy bowiem dzisiaj wszystkich tych, którzy żyli przed nami i wypełniając w swoim życiu Bożą wolę, osiągnęli wieczne szczęście przebywania z Bogiem w niebie. Kościół wspomina nie tylko oficjalnie uznanych świętych, czyli tych beatyfikowanych i kanonizowanych, ale także wszystkich wiernych zmarłych, którzy już osiągnęli zbawienie i przebywają w niebie. Widzi w nich swoich orędowników u Boga i przykłady do naśladowania. 1 listopada zapraszamy na Eucharystię w języku polskim o godzinie 8:00 AM, oraz w języku angielskim o 7:00 AM, ZMIANA CZASU!!! W następny weekend, w nocy z soboty na niedzielę przechodzimy z czasu letniego na zimowy (przestawiamy zegarki o godzinę do tyłu). W sobotę, 15 listopada, w godzinach od 9:00 AM do 3:00 PM, w centrum parafialnym będzie miał miejsce Pchli Targ. Będą również sprzedawcy rzemiosła artystycznego oraz stoiska z jedzeniem. Zapraszamy do odwiedzenia nas oraz do zakupów. Jeśli ktoś chciałby zarezerwować stolik ($20), proszony jest o kontakt z kancelarią parafialną. Jeśli ktoś z Państwa ma niepotrzebne ubrania których już nie używa, to może warto ofiarować ją biednym? Na parkingu, między szkołą a konwentem sióstr stoi kontener z Catholic Community Services, do którego można wrzucać czyste ubrania, buty oraz nieużywane, małe sprzęty gospodarstwa domowego.
