14.01.2022 Today we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary which marks her assumption into Heaven body and soul. Because it signifies the Blessed... Virgins passing into eternal life, it is one of the most important of all Marian feasts and a Holy Day of Obligation. The earliest printed reference that Marys body was assumed into Heaven dates from the fourth century, in a document entitled "The Falling Asleep of the Holy Mother of God". The document is written in the voice of the Apostle John, to whom Christ on the Cross had entrusted the care of His mother, and recounts the death, laying in the tomb and assumption of the Blessed Virgin. Blessed Virgin Mary pray for us Prayer for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Almighty and everlasting God, You have taken up body and soul into the heavenly glory the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Your Son: Grant, we beseech You, that, ever intent upon heavenly things, we may be worthy to be partakers of her glory. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen. #mary #assumption #feast #blessedvirginmary #marianfeast #Holydayofobligation #catholic

11.01.2022 Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is de...spair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life See more

08.01.2022 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday On Sunday 5 July, we celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Sunday. The first Sunday of July has be...en mandated by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference as ATSI Sunday. Celebrations are usually organised by the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council (NATSICC) which is the peak advisory body to the Australian Catholic Bishops on issues relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced NATSICC to rethink the ways in how we empower Catholics to celebrate our special day. This year, NATSICC have modified our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday resources to work in a digital setting. NATSICC are also holding the first-ever live-streamed, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday Mass from the St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Adelaide (Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide) from 10am EST. The livestream will be available from the NATSICC homepage. Youre invited to view more information here... sosj.org.au/atsi-sunday-20 #ATSI #AboriginalAndTorresStraitIslanderSunday #Aboriginal #TorresStraitIslander #TogetherInTheSpirit #NATSICC #NationalAboriginalAndTorresStraitIslanderCatholicCouncil #ACBC #AustralianCatholicBishopsConference #Catholic #SistersOfSaintJoseph

02.01.2022 During Sabbath Week (Week 7 of the school term) at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we took time out to reconnect with ourselves, each other and our faith. Across the school we practised Christian meditation and mindful movements as we considered the importance of Remembering the Sabbath and keeping it holy. The children embraced the opportunity as did the staff

02.01.2022 Today we mark the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion to the physical heart as the representation of His divine love for all humanity. Cele...brated 19 days after Pentecost, it is one of the most widely practised and well-known Catholic devotions today. Beginning in 17th century France, Christ appeared in a series of visits to French Visitation nun, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, revealing the importance of devotion to His Sacred Heart. In these apparitions He requested that pictures of His Sacred Heart be set up and venerated in churches and homes. He also made 12 promises that people who venerate His Heart would receive special graces for their lives. O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father.

02.01.2022 How will we take part in this initiative here at OLMC? Watch out for your How To Join In? pack coming home for all Families to take part.
