Word/Worship Ministries



For the people of OLM to have enthusiasm for their encounter with Christ both in sacraments and everyday life. We will develop this joy through instruction in our beliefs and practices, and reflection on their meaning. This will be reflected in and lead from their participation in worship, service, stewardship, and the social life of the community. Through our Liturgical and Prayer ministries, meet the needs of the OLM faith community, and express the liturgical seasons and mission of the Church. Click on a ministry below for more information.

R.C.I.A. stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, and is the process by which new members (baptized in another denomination or unbaptized) are brought into the Catholic Church. Parishioners are needed to "sponsor" people as they go through this process, which takes one to two years. Team members are also needed as instructors in Catholic belief. John Tobin directs the RCIA process at Our Lady of the Mount. If you are a parishioner interested in helping with this ministry, or if you are a person who is interested in becoming Catholic, contact John Tobin at (732) 968-0124 or by email at tobin_jp@hotmail.com.
