On Friday, the 27th, a ceremony was held at the Cathedral where Bishop Mulvey recognized people from many parishes in the Diocese with the presentation of the Evangelii Guadium plaque for exceptional service to the Church in the local parishes. The name of the recognition plaque is translated as “The Joy of The Gospel” -the title of Pope Francis’ encyclical. Each parish was invited by the Bishop to present the name of one individual or one couple to be recognized in this ceremony. The recipients from our Lady of Mount Carmel this year were Greg and Andrea Young The Young’s have been extraordinary volunteers in serving OLMC is ways too numerous to count, always willingly and always with a smile. They have never done anything to seek recognition or thanks – they simply demonstrate the best in willingness to serve wherever and whenever they can. The Bishop emphasized in his talk at the ceremony of Friday that the presentation of the Evangelii Guadium plaque was a recognition, not an award. It is a means to recognize exemplary service given with joy to the building up of the local church community by example. As a community we are thankful to Greg and Andrea Young for their continued joyful service.
