WELCOME

TODAY’S GOSPEL MESSAGE Sunday, October 7th

Mark 10:2-16

“And people were bringing children to [Jesus] that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them … ‘Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.’ Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.”

“What does it mean to ‘accept the kingdom of God like a child’ (Mark 10:15)? Does it mean that we should be immature in our faith, ignorant in our knowledge, and blind in our obedience? Or does it mean we must acknowledge that there are some things beyond human understanding? As intimate as our connection to God may be, we are still as dependent as a child is to her/his parents, so we are called to be as trusting as a child.”

WEEKLYRUNDOWN

The Lumen Christi Award will be presented to

Mr. Thomas Izzard Parish Trustee

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church

The Lumen Christi Award, Latin for “the light of Christ,” is given to those individuals and couples who not only serve the community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel by shining a light into their world, but share that light in a variety of ways by worshiping and praying with us as members of our church.

Thomas Izzard Class of ’69

There are those parishioners who arrive at OLMC from far off places, where the community is lucky enough to find them and then there are OLMC’s hometown heroes…

Tom Izzard describes himself as a lifelong parishioner. “I was raised in the house I live in today,” Tom says. “I was baptized in OLMC and I suppose ‘lifelong parishioner’ sounds better than ‘parishioner for sixty years’—people will think I’m way older than I am!” he likes to joke. Tom’s father, William, who grew up on the outskirts of Toronto, moved from Manhattan to Tenafly shortly after the George Washington Bridge linked New York and Bergen County. Tom graduated from Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, as it was then called in 1969. Fordham Prep came next, followed by Fordham College and Fordham Law.

His aunt, a Sister of St. Joseph, was celebrating her jubilee in 1986. When he attended the ceremony he noticed, “There weren’t too many people to talk to there that hadn’t already made previous vows, so I started talking to a young woman named Barbara.” A year later they were married. Barbara is currently on staff at the Academy!

It was the example of his mother, Dorothy, that got Tom so involved in parish life. “My mom served the parish for twenty years from 1960 to 1980, mostly in fundraising and on the Parish Council. When I was a teenager it was easier to serve as an usher than have to sit with my family at 10:00 Mass,” he says of his first time serving the parish. His love of public speaking saw him move to the sanctuary as a lector and Eucharistic Minister.

Professionally, Tom is a partner in the law firm of Fierro, Fierro and Izzard, PC located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. It wasn’t long after Tom’s admission to the bar that his parish needed his service. He has served as the parish’s attorney and finance council member for over thirty years.

Tom and Barbara’s daughter, Annie, came along in 1995 and graduated from the Academy in 2009 following her father’s footsteps. She’s currently studying to be a nurse. Serving runs in the family. It was Annie’s rambunctious energy that led Tom to help coach our championship Track program. “The year was 2000,” Tom begins. “I had a young daughter who loved to run. I couldn’t keep up with her so we signed her up for the OLMC Track Team. Coach Ron Miller and (fellow 2018 Hall of Fame inductee) Coach Bill Angresano asked me to help. I thought I was just going to tell the kids to stop picking the dandelions, but I ended up getting in shape and a decade later, years after Annie graduated, I’m still there.”

Tom was made a parish trustee after Ed Reilly’s passing in October 2014. “OLMC has always been an extended family to me – it’s given me my sense of community. The friends we’ve met all those years ago are still our friends,” he says. “If you want a better parish, you have to work to make it better,” his mom used to say. How true that is. Our Lady of Mount Carmel is better having been served by our hometown hero, Tom Izzard.

AMessagefromGeorgeMcKenna,DirectoroftheOfficeofConcern…“We at the Office of Concern Food Pantry are gearing up for our annual Thanksgiving food collection. I am writing to you to ask if you will join us in helping poor people enjoy a great American holiday.

For 38 years, volunteers at the Office of Concern Food Pantry have been assisting needy families in Bergen County with weekly supplementary food. Our food pantry is available on a weekly basis for 900 families living below the Federal Poverty Level. These families live in severe circumstances, with limited food stamps and the need to choose between paying housing rent, medical needs, and clothing. This leaves little money left over for food.

You may wish to contribute specific holiday foods such as cranberry sauce and other fixings, which is fine, but there are also three areas of year-round foods that are especially valuable: first, canned fruits and vegetables; second, pasta (spaghetti, rigatoni, etc.) and third, breakfast cereals.” The Office of Concern collection is next weekend. Non-perishables can be placed in the elevator vestibule during the week. Thank you for your generosity.
