About Us

Dear MOMs,

We had a beautiful Kick-Off this September for the Ministry of Motherhood. This ministry was founded by Linda English 33 years ago here at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Ridgewood, NJ. New mothers, and experienced mothers who are parishioners of OLMC, or visiting guests, are welcome to join us on Wednesday mornings (first Wednesday of each month) for our guest speakers, prayer and sharing. It is such a blessing to be able to connect with women of faith in all moments of motherhood. We also have evening Small Christian Community groups and family events planned for those MOMs who have evening hours available. MOMs offers many opportunities for women to make strong bonds with others while on their faith journey. The MOMs Leadership team looks forward to meeting you! Our next meeting is on April 12th at 9:15am in the Parish Center. Bring a friend!

Our MOMs theme for this year is “Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full”. We as mothers wear many different hats each and every day. On some busy days, we may feel we only have the time and energy to give to our families. MOMs at OLMC is a personal sanctuary and a place where we can have our needs met as women, mothers and daughters of God, who are blessed and cherished . I am looking forward to a great year, and to you joining us this year as we continue to live our mission statement:

The strong mission statement: "Ministry of Motherhood (MOMs) is a group of women, both new and experienced mothers, striving to make Christ the center of their family life through supporting, sharing with, ministering to, and learning from each other."

MOMs was created in 1990 when a group of mothers knew they needed to develop a small faith community. Over 30 years later, the community has only grown and thrived at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

We look forward to you joining us on April 12, 2023 in the Parish Center (Under the Church. Enter through the Passaic St. door and head downstairs).

God Bless,

Deirdre Costello

MOMs President 2022-2023
