WELCOME
A Message From The Pastor… Dear Brothers and Sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
The weather this month has been chilly and rainy, but our hearts are as warm and bright as ever. There are many illustrations why this is so.
We celebrated another Holy Week with extra joy this year, topped by the fact that we welcomed nine more members into our Catholic Church family on Holy Saturday. A week after that we confirmed 44 students into the fullness of faith as we celebrated Confirmation with Bishop Flesey. Then, for the past two Saturdays we shared Holy Eucharist for the first time with another 48 parish children.
The families of all these young people and children beamed with joy at these sacred moments. We, as their Church family, breathed a sigh of satisfaction – another year of proud sacramental initiation. Our mission is carrying on. Thanks be to God and every person who made all these triumphs possible.
This year there is one more major event to highlight in this month of May. Our joint service this afternoon with members of Temple Sinai is a unique event. We will gather, we will pray, we will reflect, we will discuss and we will break bread together with brothers and sisters and Tenafly neighbors from Temple Sinai.
In terms of local Church history, this is historic. Two proud religious communities will acknowledge our histories and reach out to one another from roots of our common humanity and our desire to be peacemakers on this earth.
Let us be at peace with one another and all God’s world this day!
Sincerely yours in Christ and Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
fr. Dan [email protected]

TODAY’S GOSPEL MESSAGE Sunday, May 19th
John 13:31-33a, 34-35 “Jesus said, . . . ‘My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’”
“To love one another on Jesus’ terms entails more than acting kindly and empathetically. This is a start, but Jesus demands more. . . . Jesus loved us so much that he suffered and died to redeem us. We are challenged to act selflessly, to put others ahead of ourselves, even when it comes to our own lives. This is the challenge Jesus gives his followers.”

“He Gave Himself Up ‘for Me’
Jesus gave himself up to death voluntarily in order to reciprocate the love of God the Father, in perfect union with his will, to demonstrate his love for us. On the cross Jesus ‘loved me and gave himself for me’ (Galatians 2:20). Each one of us can say: ‘He loved me and gave himself for me.’”

Thank you to the students and families in the Religious Education Program who donated towards a school in Haiti for boys and girls. The mission is sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph located in St. Louis, Missouri. We collected $240. Thank you for your generosity! Thank You From The Office of Concern Food Pantry At St. Cecilia…
“On behalf of all the volunteers at the Office of Concern and the needy families we serve, I want to thank you very much for your generous response to our 2019 cereal drive.
A combined total of 110 boxes of cereal and 10 bags of groceries were received from the community of OLMC. These gifts greatly relieve the need to purchase a relatively expensive item (cereal, which is so important to families in the morning to start their days) and help stock our pantry shelves.
Your continued support of our mission is very much appreciated, especially as we approach the summer months when donations generally decline as schools close and people leave for vacations. The need, of course, is year-round.
Blessings, George McKenna Director”

“Dear Father Dan:
We at the Office of Concern are very grateful for the two donations you gave us on April 22 and later, totaling $550.00.
You and the parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel continue to be among the most generous and consistent supporters of our mission to serve needy families in Bergen County.”
