O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein that you are my Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart, to succor me in this my necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. O show me herein that you are my Mother.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, LORD OF THE UNIVERSE ….. NOVEMBER 25, 2018

Stewardship Reflection On this last Sunday of Ordinary Time for the liturgical year, we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. This feast was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925, at a time when the world was experiencing a rise of secularism, materialism and individualism, and an increasing denial of Christ’s existence and authority. The hope was that the establishment of this feast would accom-plish three goals — that nations would see that the Church has the right to freedom, that leaders and nations would see that they are required to give respect to Christ, the King of kings, and that the faithful would be strengthened and encouraged by the reminder that Christ must reign in our hearts, minds, wills and bodies. This feast is needed more than ever for all people and for us especially, as Christian stewards. It reminds us of three vital truths. First, even when it seems the world is spinning out of control, we need not fear because we have a King of kings who is very much in charge and who is loving, merciful and just. Second, if Christ is king of all, then He is also king of me, personally. I am not “lord” of my time, talents, and treasure. He is. I am a servant of the King and a steward of His gifts to me. Third, as His disciple, I am called to imitate my King. Christ’s kingship is characterized by humble service, by emptying Himself for the good of others, The Scriptures tell us He went about doing good and He says of Himself, “I came not to be served but to serve.” How can I live in any other way than as a humble servant like my King?

The Sisters’ Corner … “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever.” (Psalm 136)

Some days ago we celebrated Thanksgiving Day, a beautiful holiday that helps us to remember the importance of being grateful everyday of our lives for everything we receive.

We also want to give thanks as a community for the many blessings we have received from God during this second year being here - for each sister in our community, for the blessing of this beautiful mission in the parish and school, for the different blessings upon all the Servants of the Plan of God during this year, especially our 20th anniversary of our foundation, and for every moment in our lives that God wanted us to live and experience His presence, His grace and love for us. For what did you give thanks for or would you like to give thanks for?

ALL first time volunteers in the Diocese of Phoenix must take the SET

OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

25 November 2018 Dear Friends, Coming into the Holiday season, I know we’ve all been a bit stretched with giving and I thank you for your sacrificial giving in the Together Let Us Go Forth Capital Campaign, (if you haven’t yet pledged, I eagerly await your pledge!) so I want to remind you of ways you can still give but at no cost to your budget. Gift Cards from our Food For Thought Program, cost you only the face value of the gift card. The vendor gives back a certain percentage to OLMC. For instance, if you purchase a $100 gift card you get a gift card worth $100 and the vendor gives back to the parish, depending on the vendor anywhere between 4% and 20% or higher. So, on a $100 at 4% the parish gets $4. Attached to this week’s Bulletin is a list of vendors and the denominations that are available. There is also a % sign next to each indicating the percentage the vendor rebates to the Parish. Obviously at Christmas time we all make a lot of purchases so if you can give it some thought as to which stores you will shop at, then you can purchase the gift cards before heading out to the Mall or Shopping on-line. Arizona Tax Credits are available to all who pay AZ State tax. Not sure, just check your payroll stub to see the amount you paid this year or ask your Tax Preparer. Tax Credits are NOT Tax Deductions. With a Tax Credit you get a dollar for dollar return. So, if you contribute $1000 you get to claim $1000 on your AZ Income taxes and get it back as a full refund or it can be deducted from any AZ taxes you still owe. There are lots of Tax Credits in AZ: Tax Credit for Private Schools (the one we operate is Catholic Education Arizona - catholiceducationarizona.org) but there are many other ones as well. Tax Credits are also available for organizations that work with the poor and needy such as St. Vincent de Paul, the Aid to Women Center, Catholic Charities and many others. Tax Credits give the taxpayer the power to earmark where their taxes will go. You can contribute to multiple Tax Credit recipients and you can also use the short form when filing your AZ taxes. This obviously helps the State meet the needs of its children and citizens. Again, it doesn't cost you anything since you are already paying the taxes. Employer Matching Gifts are available from many employers. Employers will often match your char itable donations through programs they operate. Check with your employer to see if they have a Matching Gifts Program. We will be happy to assist your employer with any details they may need to set up their contribution. Also, some employers will provide a contribution to non-profit organizations to which one of their employees donate time or service hours. Again, check with your employer. It is an easy way to turn your service hours to the Parish or School into a financial contribution from your employer. In doing so you double the gift you give to your Parish! Gifts of Stocks, Bonds, Securities, Real Estate and real property are all tax-deductible gifts with which you can bless your Parish or our School. We will be happy to assist you in making these types of gifts to the Parish. End of Year Giving. Many of you consult with your Tax Advisor s before the end of the year to see what possible gifts you can still make before the end of the 2018 Tax year. Mt. Carmel will gladly provide Tax receipts or any other documentation you may need to make an end of the year gift. Giving Tuesday this year is Tuesday, Nov. 27 please encourage your fr iends to give a gift to our FullCircle Program: www.fullcircleprogram.com . Please forward our Facebook link to all those in your Facebook address book: https://www.facebook.com/fullcircleprogram/ Remember we operate FullCircle in the Phoenix area, the Kansas City area and beginning in April, the Denver, Colorado area, so let your friends in those areas know of it as well! Finally, as you plan ahead please consider including our Parish in your estate planning. Many of our parishioners have blessed us even in death by bequeathing to us financial gifts or gifts of property. If you would like to specify how such a gift would be used, I would be happy to discuss that with you. Thank you as always for your wonderful stewardship of our Parish. I hope these many ways of no-cost giving or tax saving gifts will inspire you during this Season of Giving! Love, Fr. John B. PS Our Annual Report for the fiscal year ending June 30 is posted on our website or there are copies available in the Church so you can see how we steward the resources you entrust to us.
