Welcome to OLMC!
Extraordinary things happen here, and we’re delighted to share them with you!
As an educational ministry of Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish, our school exists to make saints. That’s not a sterile vision of two-dimensional kids locked away behind stained glass, listlessly waiting for some far-away Heaven. It’s actually quite the opposite: saints are vibrant, bold, and unabashed leaders who embrace and effect the will of God here and now. Saints eagerly pursue full flourishing in mind, body, heart, and soul so that their gifts and talents can be used effectively in the service of a world in need.
Saints are people like John Henry Newman, whose academic scholarship was so impactful during his lifetime its legacy endures across every continent more than 150 years after his death. They’re like Dorothy Day, whose commitment to peace and passion for justice made her one of the most influential figures of the mid-20th century. Saints are like Philip Neri, whose charismatic and joyful nature won him - and God - true friends wherever he went.
The task of “making saints” really means helping children become the men and women God had in mind when he first formed them by preparing them for lives of unique and eternal purpose. I believe there is no greater work, and we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity!
