Spiritual Adoption Program
On July 26, 2013, the Respect Life Ministry launched the Spiritual Adoption Program for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish. The Spiritual Adoption Program was actually first established by the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in response to the Roe V. Wade court decision legalizing abortion. "Archbishop Sheen encouraged the spiritual adoption of an unborn child by praying that the unknown child's life be spared abortion and be allowed to continue to live."The Spiritual Adoption Program is free! All you have to do is say a short daily prayer for a period of nine months:
Our first year, 2014, was a great success! 73 babies were spiritually adopted. We had a very diverse group of adoptive parents ranging in age - from elementary to middle school students, parents and great grandparents. Our first Baby Shower and/or Baby Birthday celebration was held on July 27, 2014. We had a very touching and exciting celebration because our adoptive parents shared their personal experiences during the nine months that they made the commitment to pray for their spiritually adopted baby.
The 2019 Program launched in October with 100 babies spiritually adopted. There will be a baby shower in July 2020 for this program. Spiritual adoptive parents will be contacted monthy with a message. Watch for your message and remember to provide your baby's name for our hearts on the posterboard.
- "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of (Baby's Name) the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion."
Our Dear Lord God Jesus Christ will definitely bless your efforts. It is a great family activity as it allows the family to pray together for a great cause - saving lives!

Augustine Catholic Media Kiosk
Located in the Narthex of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is this beautiful kiosk for parishioners to purchase educational, inspirational, and enlightening messages about our Catholic faith.
This is a self-service (on your honor) mini-store housing CDs, Booklets and Books, rosaries, scapulars (prices as marked), and on the back side are brochures on many topics. The prices are brought to the parish at the lowest possible prices through the Augustine/Lighthouse Catholic Media. The kiosk is managed through our Respect Life Ministry and was made possible by a donation from the Knights of Columbus. The funds need to be placed into the slot on the bottom of the kiosk in order to continue to purchase more items. If you have taken items from the kiosk and not paid for them or placed the funds in some other containers, our parish and ministry loses money. We ask you to please donate the needed funds as soon as possible after taking your selections.
Only in this way can the parish continue to bring you these messages which can help you to deepen your faith and evangelize (teach) others.
Some selections are available in Spanish. All items can be ordered on special request by contacting Phyllis Kaminska at (707)419-4237.
