Tithing is “Stewardship In Action”
FROM THE DESK OF OUR PASTOR
Christian Stewardship
For the Christian the most important day of the week is Sunday. On that day we celebrate the
Resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Sunday is an opportunity to “Remember to keep Holy the Sabbath”.
We do so by worship and rest. The most important part of attending Mass is to give glory and praise
to God. We also may be inspired to make changes in our life through the Eucharistic Celebration.
God’s grace is always operative in the Eucharistic Celebration.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School
Doylestown, PA 18901
Founded 1876
One of the annual fall traditions at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is to
induct qualified 7th and 8th grade students into the National Junior Honor Society.
Adopted at OLMC in 2005, the NJHS organization is guided by the following five
pillars: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service;
to promote leadership; to encourage responsible citizenship; and to develop character in the students.
Eligible candidates are invited to consider joining the NJHS in the preceding spring based on their academic and
behavior records. Interested students complete an application which details their service and leadership activities. A team of
faculty members reads the applications and confirms the final candidate list.
The induction ceremony was a solemn occasion during which the seven current members described the five pillars
and charged the twelve new inductees to uphold them. Family and friends attended the ceremony and reception, and the
choir contributed to the celebration with their renderings of America the Beautiful and God Bless America. Another highlight
of the ceremony was the induction of our honorary member for 2015, Mr. Tom Kardish. Mr. Kardish was selected based on
his past contributions to OLMC School as a parent and Home and School Vice President, as well as his success in
establishing the Haiti Mission at OLMC Church. Currently, Mr. Kardish continues to contribute to OLMC School by teaching
the Junior Achievement elective available to the middle school students this year.
I’m very proud of our NJHS students; they consistently do their best to live up to the requirements of membership
by acting as positive role models at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School. Congratulations to the classes of 2016 and 2017!
God bless,
Dawn Parker

Scrip Fundraising
In addition to weekly collections, our church could
raise money with a no-sell program such as scrip
fundraising.
Scrip requires no extra time or money to be spent.
Families simply do their weekly shopping with
scrip gift cards, and in turn raise money for our
church to assist with the subsidy to the school.
As soon as you order a gift car, a rebate will go
directly to our school, and you will use that gift
card in place of a credit card or cash. Scrip
fundraising is easy, time-effective, and families will
also benefit from helping their church subsidize
the school while they make everyday purchases.
Please consider enrolling in the scrip program and
joining others already earning rebate dollars for
the school
Visit www.shopwithscrip.com to enroll and begin
shopping. Call Nicole at the Rectory
215-348-4190 for more information.

Newly Registered Parishioners
CHILDREN’S TIME & TALENT
Children learn that they are called to give back
something to God. Stewardship teaches children
the difference between needs and wants. Children
learn to concentrate on their blessings rather than
on what they want. The idea of the children’s
envelopes is not to raise more money but to teach
children the joys of giving and helping. Thus, it is
more important that children give a quarter from
their own bank than $5 from a parent’s wallet.
Children’s envelopes also encourage kids to
share talent - a good deed or a prayer they have
written - or to write down ways they have been
good stewards.

Job Fair
Do You Know Your Tribunal?
On Wednesday, November 18th from 10AM to
3PM, Representative Murt and the Willow Grove
Chamber will be hosting a Job Fair at the
Huntingdon Valley Country Club, 2295 Country
Club Drive, Huntingdon Valley, PA. 19006.
The Job Fair is free to job seekers and features
dozens of employers.
For information visit ewillowgrove.com, call the
Chamber at 215-657-2652 or Rep. Murt’s office
215-674-3755.
The Tribunal is a group of
specially qualified priests, sisters, and
lay persons whose responsibility is to
come to the help of people who have
experienced divorce.
When divorce occurs, the
Catholic Church always seeks to
balance two realities. One is the
unbreakableness of the bond of
marriage. This is God’s Law. On the
other hand, the Church is concerned
about the spiritual welfare of the people
involved. Was this a true marriage?
Even though a Catholic marriage was
celebrated, perhaps there was some
weakness in the consent of the parties
involved. The Annulment Procedure
addresses this question without
affixing blame on either party.
We must meditate before, during and after
everything we do. The prophet says: “I will pray,
and then I will understand.” This is the way we
can easily overcome the countless difficulties we
have to face day after day, which, after all, are part
of our work. In meditation we find the strength to
bring Christ to birth in ourselves and in others.
Saint Charles Borromeo
Stewardship
Stewards of God’s Gifts
If you are divorced or married
outside the Catholic Church, please
telephone the Tribunal Office. Have no
fear. All interviews are private.
“Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to God what belongs to God.” - Matthew
22:21B
Everything we are and everything we have
belongs to God. We aren’t “owners” of anything.
We are merely “Stewards” of the gifts God has
given each of us. All God is asking is that we give
back a portion of what He gave us. This is the
essence of Stewardship. God should be our first
priority in everything. All else comes second.

A Bit of History:
The journey of Christianity is a long and winding road, crossing centuries, continents, and cultures. Our
ancestors in faith left a rich heritage chronicling their lives and struggles, dreams and beliefs. When we learn
their stories, we find people just like us trying to be faithful followers of Christ.
Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, died in AD 397. In him we find an excellent example of how to honor the dead
with profound gratitude and deep resolve to make good use of the gift of life. We know he mourned the death of
his brother, Satyrus, because Ambrose’s sermons on the topic still remain for our inspiration.
Nothing among things of earth, dearest brethren, was more precious to me, nothing more worthy of
love, nothing more dear than such a brother . . . to this it must be added that I cannot be ungrateful to
God; for I must rather rejoice that I had such a brother to grieve than that I had lost a brother, for the
former is a gift, the latter a debt to be paid. And so, as long as I might, I enjoyed the loan entrusted to
me, now he who deposited the pledge has taken it back.
-St. Ambrose (d.397)

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
WHY IS IT?
