THROUGH 129 YEARS HARLEM HONORS ITS BLESSED MOTHER
Processions, Novenas, and Prayers to Honor Our Lady of Mount Carmel, with 2nd Annual Special
Traditional Latin Pilgrimage on July 20
The Shrine Church of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel, located at 448 East 116th street in Manhattan has announced plans for its 129th Feast in honor of its patron Madonna. It has long been the largest sponsored religious procession in New York City, including its 2nd Annual Traditional Tridentine Latin Pilgrimage on July 20.
Drawing thousands of pilgrims to the feet of the Blessed Mother, the feast, originally created by Italian immigrants, now unites Catholics of all racial, economic and social classes in their love and devotion to Mary. I
The Vatican itself has specially recognized the Mt. Carmel Shrine. In 1904, Pope St. Pius X, following the approval of Pope Leo XIII who had just passed on, ordered that the image of the Madonna be given the right to wear a golden crown. This was done in recognition of the graces received, and prayers answered at the Shrine. This privilege, known as “incoronation”, is an extremely rare one in Catholicism, and has been granted to only five Marian images outside of Europe. Indulgences were also attached for visits to the Shrine during the Feast.
