FROM THE OGLE OFFICE
Dear friends, You will read in the Tablet this week about the
death of one of the truly remarkable priests in the history of
the Diocese of Brooklyn, the Rev. Mons. James A. Hunt, at
the age 88. Monsignor Hunt was born on the feastday of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16, in 1929, graduated from our
parish school in 1943, and his father was a sacristan in the
church for many years. Jim Hunt was ordained in 1955 and
served with distinction in many different fields as his great
talents were recognized and tapped by a succession of bish-
ops. He taught in the minor seminary, served as an assistant
superintendent of Catholic schools, and was among the earli-
est to serve as an Episcopal Vicar. I was fortunate that he was
the vicar who supervised me in my first assignment as a
priest in St Margaret Mary parish. Upon completing his term
he eventually became the pastor of the historic parish of St
Peter Claver in Bedford-Stuyvesant, when the name of that
neighborhood was still synonymous with the challenging
social realities of poverty and crime. He served there proudly,
and then moved on to an equally difficult assignment in
Brownsville at Our Lady of the Presentation. After his
“retirement” he became a missionary in the West Indies for
many years, only returning when his health demanded quick-
er access to medical treatment. One of the highlights of our
170th Parish anniversary Mass in 2011 was his concelebrating
with us. He has resided for several years at the Bishop Mu-
gavero Priest Retired Priest Residence at Douglaston where
he lived up to his death on Monday, January 23. Monsignor
Jim Hunt was at the same time a gentleman of the old school,
yet eager to be current with the mind of the Church and the
needs of the People of God. We can be proud of his roots in
our parish and we pray the Lord to give him the reward of his
goodness and eternal pardon and peace. May his good exam-
ple and intercession help today’s Mount Carmel parishioners
to promote vocations to the priesthood and religious life, so
there may be many more future Fr Jim Hunt’s to serve the
Church as well as he did. Requiescat in pace.
God love you,
Msgr. Sean G. Ogle
DE EL PASTOR
Queridos amigos, Se puede leer en el Tablet esta semana sobre la muerte de uno de los sacerdotes verdaderamente notables en la historia de la Diócesis de Brooklyn, el Rev. Mons. James A. Hunt, a la edad de 88 años. Monseñor Hunt nació en la fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo, el 16 de julio de 1929, se graduó en nuestra escuela parroquial en 1943 y su padre fue sacristán en la iglesia durante muchos años. Jim Hunt fue ordenado en 1955 y sirvió con distinción en muchos campos diferentes, ya que sus grandes talentos fueron reconocidos y aprovechados por una sucesión de obispos. Enseñó en el seminario menor, sirvió como superintendente auxiliar de escuelas católicas y fue uno de los primeros en servir como vicario episcopal. Tuve la suerte de que él era el vicario que me supervisó en mi primera misión como sacerdote en la parroquia de Santa Margarita María. Al concluir su mandato se convirtió en el pastor de la parroquia histórica de San Pedro Claver en Bedford-Stuyvesant, cuando el nombre de ese barrio era todavía sinónimo de las desafiantes realidades sociales de la pobreza y el crimen. Él sirvió allí con orgullo, y lue-go se trasladó a una asignación igualmente difícil en Brownsville en Nuestra Señora de la Presentación. Después de su "jubilación" se convirtió en un misionero en las Indias Occidenta-les durante muchos años, sólo volvió cuando su salud exigió un acceso más rápido al tratamiento médico. Uno de los momentos más destacados de nuestra 170a Misa de la parroquia en 2011 fue su concelebración con nosotros. Ha residido durante varios años en la residencia de sacerdote jubilado del obispo Mugavero en Douglaston, donde vivió hasta su muerte el lunes 23 de enero. Monseñor Jim Hunt era al mismo tiempo un caballero de la primera clase, pero deseoso de estar al día con la mente de la Iglesia y las necesidades del Pueblo de Dios. Podemos estar or-gullosos de sus raíces en nuestra parroquia y rogamos al Señor que le dé la recompensa de su bondad y eterno perdón y paz. Que su buen ejemplo e intercesión ayuden a los feligreses del Monte Carmelo de hoy a promover vocaciones al sacerdocio ya la vida religiosa, para que haya mucho más futuro Padre Jim Hunt para servir a la Iglesia tan bien como él. Requiescat in pace. Dios te cuide, Mons. Sean G. Ogle

PARISH BULLETIN BOARD PRAYER OF THE WEEK
The Virgin Mary was a very young, unwed teenager when she became pregnant with the Christ Child. Loving Father, Creator of all life, you have known us from all eternity. Before you ever formed us in our mother's wombs you knew us. Teach us to foster proper attitudes about all your creation... the unborn, the elderly, the handicapped, the terminally ill. Help us to see anew the miracle and sacredness of all life and give us a greater awareness of our responsibility toward this gift from you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
