Leon Vaccarelli and Barry Michitsch, both kindergarten thru 8th grade graduates of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, have been friends for almost 20 years. In February 2002, Barry joined Leon's rapidly growing financial planning and asset management practice in Middlebury, CT. Together they specialize in helping others responsibly gain financial independence, while preparing for the financial impact of various life events. In Thanksgiving for their success and long lasting friendship, they have dedicated the time, resources, and intellect to build and maintain this website.

"It is with great pleasure that we embrace the opportunity to wholeheartedly give back to the parish that has given us so much. As alumni of the school we were endowed with wisdom and knowledge combined with morals, faith, and integrity. It is our hope that this website adds to the mission and unity of the whole Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish family."
