Our Lady of Mt. Carmel – the Traditional Pilgrimage

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Version 2

The Fifth Annual Traditional Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on East 116th Street, New York on Saturday, July 23. Over the last five years the number of pilgrims has steadily grown  – the ceremonies and music have also become much more elaborate.   The pilgrimage takes place a week after this parish’s patronal feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel –  a legendary festa which nowadays also prominently features the celebration of the Traditional mass. The pilgrimage involves individuals and Traditionalist organizations from all over the New York area.  The celebrant was Canon Matthew Talarico ICRSS.  The deacon was Fr Christopher Salvatore SAC and the subdeacon was Fr. Richard Cipolla, pastor of St. Mary Church, Norwalk.

(Above and below). Sometimes the faithful grow too enthusiastic. A warning sign next to a statue of St. Ann – her book is the ideal place to write petitions to the Virgin in a place she can very easily read them.
