Dear Saints,

And just like that, we’re back to school!

I don’t know whether or not we’re heading into the monsoon season, but as we eye the end of summer the real deluge at OLMC School is of students. This year we opened our doors to 230 children and their families.

It’s safe to say, then, that the secret is out.

There’s an air of excitement around Our Lady of Mount Carmel these days. After being scattered by summer, September gathers us together. There’s more energy, then, around the place. There are more people, and so, more possible friends. Being a new year, we’re looking forward to a fresh start, a new beginning with seemingly endless possibilities.

We have many successes to celebrate at the church and school, but I’ll save those for another day. The only point I’ll offer now is that God is blessing OLMC in almost every conceivable way so that we can be a blessing for others. If we entrust ourselves to God – if we give ourselves over to him and find our place in his plan – then we will only go from blessing to blessing this year.

One of the ways we’ll go from blessing to blessing is by and at our annual gala. Put November 6 on your calendar now!

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon. Please be in touch for any reason whatever.

Christ’s Peace,

Father Daniel
