For the past 15 years the Jane Delores Rosen “Saint on Every Corner Award” has recognized Confirmation candidates who have devoted themselves to outstanding service to the Notre Dame of Mount Carmel Parish Family. This year’s Rosen awards were presented at this past Saturday's 5 PM Mass to Ryan and Conor. These outstanding youth strive to follow in the footsteps of Jesus by selflessly serving others as Jane Rosen did.

Ryan has served as an Altar Server for a number of years now and also brings his giftedness on drums to both the Teen Band and to our liturgies. He has been part of our Antioch ministry and has helped bring other teens closer to Christ.

Conor has been part of our Altar Server ministry and has helped with Faith Formation. We recently heard from a parishioner who, while facing health challenges, has been on the receiving end of Conor’s kindness: “He has been my angel, always finding time to give me a hand. The past couple of winters he's been there shoveling the walk and driveway; he brings his mom, dad & brother to assist him and never expects anything in return; he does these things out of the kindness of his heart.”

We are so grateful to both of these teens for their amazing example of Christian love and discipleship.
