Our Lady of Mount Carmel School News Blessed Sacrament Chapel in School Our Lady of Victory Chapel is now open in the main hallway of the elementary school building. During the school year s OLMC School Faith Day, Sister Dominic asked all of the students to pray, as an intention for the school, that we would be able to have a chapel within the building. The 8 th grade class at the time, our graduating class of 2014, truly took this request to heart and continued with deeper prayer, then, upon their graduation, generously presented the school with a gift to be used for the chapel s ciborium. The students words about how they decided upon their gift are beautiful: The ciborium is close to Jesus and that s where we want to be. God has always been at the center of our school, and a chapel would make that really obvious. And since the Eucharist is at the center of the chapel, our gift shows that we know where our center is. During this past year, many generous donations of finances and labor were received from OLMC school families and faculty, OLMC parishioners, and the parish itself toward the complete conversion of a workspace in to the chapel. The scope of work included framing, drywall, trimming, painting, ceiling tiles, flooring, lighting, window treatments, and décor. Seating is the final element to be completed, but the chapel is now in use with temporary seating. Father John David brought the Blessed Sacrament to the chapel following the first school Mass of the school year, and our students, faculty and staff are excited for new opportunities for Adoration and prayer. We are very pleased to be sharing the chapel for Daily Mass during the parish renovations.
