This past Sunday, Bishop Sweeney presented my parents, Bonny and John O’Mullane, with the Vivere Christus Award in recognition of their service to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It was a joy to see their love for this community recognized in this way.

As we celebrate St John Paul II’s feast day, it’s worth asking ourselves: have we opened wide the doors to Christ? Is he welcome in every corner of our personal and communal lives?

It seems crazy that I’d be able to say it year after year, but this is the OLMC reality: we’ve come a long way, and we’re just getting started.

As we bring forth our beloved dogs and cats (and others!) to receive their blessing, it’s also a good opportunity to reflect on the Saint behind the simplicity of this day.

In the daily rhythm of ordinary life, peace is rarely forged by insisting on our own way; rather, it is found in the generous and humble love by which each makes room for the other.

PASTOR'S NOTE: Aug 17, 2025

The joy our servers experienced on Monday was the fruit of their giving something, indeed, giving themselves, over to Jesus. The prospect of holding nothing back from our good Lord is often intimidating. But if we begin by committing ourselves to the little sacrifices that love demands of us on a daily basis, we will find our fears melting away and the impossible acts of love become not only possible, but desirable.
