WHERE IS OUR BAPTISMAL FONT?
Some of our parishioners have noticed that
our Baptismal Font is no longer in the sanctuary of
Sacred Heart Church and the Baptismal Font is no
longer in the back of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Worship site. Three weeks ago, Father O’Sullivan
had a marble craftsman carefully remove the Font
from Sacred Heart Church to have work done on it
and have it restored. When the Font is returned in a
couple of weeks, it will be repositioned to the center
aisle near the main entrance of our Church. In its
new position, we will be able to use it as a Holy
Water Font when we enter the Church as well as a
Baptismal Font. (The Baptismal Font from Our Lady
of Mount Carmel Worship Site was relocated to Sacred
Heart Church for Baptisms while the Font is being
refurbished.)
THANK YOU!

THE BLOOD OF CHRIST!
Beginning next weekend (October 18/19th), we will begin offering Both Species of the Eucharist (the Sacred Host and the
Precious Blood) at all of our Sunday and Holyday Masses. (Currently, this practice is already in place at our Saint Augustine
Worship Site, since it was a practice in place for the Liturgies at Saint Augustine Parish before our parishes merged.) At each of
our Sunday Masses, we will have Extraordinary Ministers located near the side altars with chalices containing the Precious Blood.
Parishioners are welcome to receive the Eucharist under both forms. For those wishing to receive the Precious Blood, the
communicant should first approach and receive the Sacred Host and then proceed to the Extraordinary Minister holding the chalice
with the Precious Blood. If you choose to receive the Precious Blood, the Extraordinary Minister will raise the chalice before you
and proclaim, “The Blood of Christ”; you respond, “Amen” and then take the chalice with both hands, consume a small amount
of the Precious Blood and return the chalice to the Extraordinary Minister.

Dear Friends,
I would like to thank all our parishioners who joined me for my
Installation on Saturday, September 27th at our 4:00pm Mass. Special thanks
to the members of the Installation Committee for their hard work: Rob
Guenther, Bernie Gutkowski, Larry Kilian, Mary Sue Kilian, Andy
Moletzsky, Pat Moletzsky, Sheila Sargent, Pete Wisniewski and Briana
Wisniewski, as well as all our other parishioners who added to the celebration in any way! It was a truly joyous
occasion for all who were able to be with us, as well as for our new Parish!
For those who were able to join us after Mass, we enjoyed a wonderful evening in our School hall, with a
delicious meal, shared by many!
For those who were not able to join us for the Mass of Installation, I have included several pictures below from
the Liturgy. Special thanks to Bill Smith for taking the pictures and allowing me to share them with our Parish.
Through the intercession of Saint Augustine and Our Lady of Mount Carmel, may we always be United in the
Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Fr. O’Sullivan
