The Baptism of the Lord
After the Lord was baptized, the heavens were opened, and the Spirit
descended upon him like a dove, and the voice of the Father thundered:
This is my beloved Son, with whom I am pleased.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is currently
in the process of completing the re-accreditation
process for the Middle States Commission on
Elementary Schools. OLMC has been a member since
1989 and was one of the first schools in the
archdiocese to receive accreditation. The protocol we
are using is called Excellence by Design and begins
with creating three foundation documents: our
Mission, Belief Statements, and Profile of Graduates.
The report then involves a full-year self-study in which
the faculty, staff, administration, students, parents and
other stakeholders evaluate our strengths and
weaknesses within 12 different standards.
Middle States surveys were completed by the
parents, faculty, and sixth through eighth grade
students in order to evaluate a broad range of topics
such as Academic Program, Facilities, and Leadership.
Our faculty and staff, headed by our internal
coordinators Mrs. Morelli and Mrs. Tomlinson, have
been working very hard to compile the data, interpret
the results, and prepare reports related to each of the
standards. Once the reports are written, they will be
combined into a single document which will direct us
to formulate a forward-thinking strategic plan.
The scope and sequence of this project covers
every aspect of our school community and educational
program. I can’t commend our faculty and staff enough
for the effort they have put into this project; in addition
to all of their responsibilities, they have worked
tirelessly to meet the deadlines set forth. I would also
like to thank the many parents who took time to
complete the surveys and offer input. We are off to a
great start and I look forward to sharing our results in
future articles.
God Bless,
Dawn Parker

CHILDREN’S TIME & TALENT
Bereavement Support Group
How can you teach children the importance and
the joy of giving? It is impossible to be grateful
and unhappy at the same time. As we count our
blessings we naturally find a sense of peace
and contentment. Children learn that they are
called to give back something to God. They also
learn that they must let go of some of their own
wants. 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.

a weekend retreat entitled “Beauty, A Path to
God” on January 23-25, 2015. This retreat is an
invitation to embrace a spirituality of beauty.
Grounded in the foundational writings of Hans
Urs von Balthasar, it explores the ability to
introduce components of prayer, joy and
spirituality into our lives today. We will focus on
the beauty that resides in key aspects of a strong
spiritual life, exploring the beauty inherent in
appreciating the present moment, the beauty
associated with forgiveness and the beauty that
comes from gratitude. We will also explore
darkness as a path to beauty, understanding that
great beauty often has its origins in times of
spiritual or emotional darkness.
Presenter: Fr. Anthony Ciorra serves as Assistant
Vice President for Mission and Catholic Identity at
Fairfield University in Connecticut. He has vast
experience in teaching, retreat work, preaching
and formation ministries.
Fee: $160 (includes a $40 non-refundable deposit)
