Food Pantry
Many people only donate to food pantries at holiday
times, but we want to thank you, for being so con-
sistent all year round, with your generous giving. No
matter what time of the year it may be, you have
never stopped sharing with those less fortunate. We
thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Donations
to our Food Pantry consist of non-perishable foods:
such as soups, sauces, pasta, rice, cereals, dry milk,
canned vegetables, as well as toiletries (toothpaste,

How to Report Abuse
The Archdiocese takes very seriously any and all
allegations of sexual misconduct by members of the
clergy, Religious and lay staff of the Archdiocese.
We encourage anyone with knowledge of an act of
sexual misconduct to inform us immediately so that
we may take appropriate action to protect others
and provide support to victims of sexual abuse. Indi-
viduals who wish to report an allegation of sexual
misconduct may do so by calling the Archdiocesan
Office of Child and Youth Protection at (201) 407-
3256.
Catholic Radio
Relevant Radio, one of the preeminent Catholic ra-
dio networks in the country, has now established a
presence here in the Greater New York area -- and
especially right here in the Archdiocese of Newark.
We are now blessed that Catholic talk radio is avail-
able to assist us here in New Jersey in our efforts to
spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. WNSW -- 1430
AM is Relevant Radio's most recent station, and is
located in the Archdiocese of Newark Chancery offic-
es on Clifton Avenue. We encourage you to spread
the news of WNSW 1430 AM far and wide, and to
tune in to the station and share with your family
and friends this informative and entertaining tool of
the New Evangelization for the good of the Church,
her people, and all who seek the Truth.

Stewardship
We have an obligation to share with others, that
which God has given us. Share your time, and tal-
ents. Men and women can become involved in the
life of our Parish by becoming an Altar Server,
Catechist, Choir Member, Lector, and/or Ush-
er. By taking an active role in the liturgical life, and
service of the Parish, you can have a wonderful ex-
perience. Feel free to fill out the form on page 5, and
drop it in the collection basket or call the rectory.
RCIC
We have something new here at OLMC. The Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults (Children)! We have
four children preparing to receive the Easter Sacra-
ments. And so, we ask you to keep Rachel Hamilton
(a Catechumen preparing to receive the Sacraments
of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist), Ash-
lyn and Derrick Kurtzmann and Nicholas
Miranda are all preparing to complete their Chris-
tian Initiation with the Sacraments of Eucharist
and Confirmation, in your prayers as they make
this two year journey. We also thank their parents
for joining them in this walk of faith.
Each week in the Intercessions of Mass, there will
be a prayer for them, that we as a community may
prayerfully support them.

Word of Life
“A sense of deep communion with the rest of nature
cannot be real if our hearts lack tenderness, compas-
sion and concern for our fellow human beings. It is
clearly inconsistent to combat trafficking in endan-
gered species while remaining completely indiffer-
ent to human trafficking, unconcerned about the
poor, or undertaking to destroy another human be-
ing deemed unwanted. This compromises the very
meaning of our struggle for the sake of the environ-
ment. ~ Pope Francis, Laudato Si, no. 91 © 2015

Catholic Junior and OLMC pa-
rishioner Isabel Rose Agapito

our parish who has attained ac-
ademic honors, please let us know.

Support Group for Those Who are
Separated or Divorced Resumes in February
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is starting another 10-
session program, for those who are separated, re-
cently divorced or going through the process of di-
vorce. Our mission is first, to support emotionally
and spiritually those who have suffered the loss of
the marital relationship, and second, to offer a car-
ing, compassionate and confidential environment for
the sharing of experiences. The group size is limited
and advance registration is required - no walk-ins.
All sessions will be held on Monday evenings from
7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Church Hall. To register,
call the rectory during office hours. All calls are con-
fidential and there is no fee in order to attend.
Whether we want them or not, the New Year will
bring new challenges; whether we seize them or
not, the New Year will bring new opportunities.
