A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE" by Bud Ozar
In today’s Gospel Jesus was “praised by all” except at home in Nazareth where the “eyes of all were intently upon Him.” Acceptance can be hard to find at home due to unreal EXPECTATIONS. Jesus challenges us to “proclaim liberty” to anyone “oppressed” or “captive” by our EXPECTATIONS.

Young Adult Ministry
Living out our Catholic faith can be challenging and can be especially difficult as a young adult trying to develop a career, raise a family, or simply grow closer to God. Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish is starting a Young Adult Ministry for people ages 18-39 to get to-gether, form a community, and rediscover the beauty of the Mass. We are looking to form a committee of young adults who would be interested and willing to invest time in this new ministry. If this is something that you feel passionate about, contact Gabe Chabot ([email protected]). The first meeting will be planned once responses come in and a group can be established.
Please join us for Coffee & Donuts & Fellowship every Sunday after the 8:00 AM Mass in the Church Hall.
We are grateful to our Hosts: Mary and Michael Guidone,
Dina and Lily Lemieux, Laurie and John Mital,
Angela and James Piscatelli
Each week they share the responsibility to coordinate, setup and clean. Their hospitality is appreciated by all who enjoy
this warm and welcoming time together.
Liturgical Notes for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today we hear in the First Reading as well as the Holy Gospel that “the law” as well as the proclamation of “good news” was read or declared from the reading of a scroll.
The origin of a scroll has it’s roots from Africa. Scroll’s were the first form of record keeping texts used in Eastern Mediterra-nean ancient Egyptian civilization.
Scrolls, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, were written on parch-ment, made from processed animal hide known as vellum. Oth-er materials used to make them were papyrus and bronze.
In the Old Testament Reading were hear that the “Law” (God’s word) was read to the assembly. Hence, our Responsorial Psalm today reinforces that message calling out that the Lord’s Words are “spirit and life” and that the “law of the Lord is per-fect”. The anthem sung during the Presentation of the Gifts is a text taken from the Gospel passage which was read from the scroll after it was unrolled, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, he has anointed me.” Our Processional and Recessional Hymn’s bring forth the theme in the Gospel about “healing our infirmities” (giving sight to the blind) as well as “The Spirit sends us forth to serve”, and “help the blind to see”. All theses phrases are from the Gospel of Luke we hear today. Our Second Reading reminds us that we are all “One Body in Christ” and our Communion Hymn reflects just that message. ~ Written by: Raymond Murphy, Choir Director
NEXT weekend February 2nd & 3rd “Souper Bowl Collection”
Soup pots will be located at each door of the Church for a free will collection that will benefit the “Midnight Run” sandwich making ministry. These sandwiches are distributed to the homeless on the New Haven Green and the Men’s Shelter in New Haven.

~ Saint Pope John Paul II
What is Pro Life? The Church teaches that all life is sacred and

Sessions will run for approximately one hour, from 7PM to 8PM Tuesday evenings from February 12th to April 30th (the end of poetry month.)
