The fifth annual Traditional Mass Pilgrimage at The Pontifical Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, New York,  will take place on Saturday, July 23, 2016 from 10 A.M. – 3 P.M. The focal point of the Pilgrimage will be the Entrance of Pilgrims and Solemn High Mass celebrated according to the1962 Missale Romanum at 11 A.M.    The shrine address is 448 E. 116th Street, New York, NY.

Pilgrims will be welcomed at 10 A.M. by our Pastor, Father Marian Wierchowski SAC, a Priest of the Pallottine Fathers. Spiritual Talks of a Marian Motif will be delivered by priest pilgrims. We also will have priests hearing confessions before and during Mass for pilgrims who wish to avail themselves of the Sacrament.

There will be a Plenary Indulgence granted by devoutly visiting the Shrine, Receiving the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion within twenty days, being free from attachment to sin, and praying for the Intentions of Our Holy Father.

Pilgrims may choose to process down the nave of the Church walking on their knees or discalced, or remain in their pews. Thereafter, the Solemn High Mass will begin. The Mass to be Celebrated will be the Second Class Votive Mass of Our Patroness, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which can be found in your hand missals under the Proper of the Saints on July 16.

Following the Mass, Pilgrims may elect to have Lunch in one of the many neighborhood restaurants, or have lunch in the Parish Undercroft, during which the Martyrology will be Chanted and spiritual talks delivered, a venerable practice adopted from Seminary Refectories, Abbeys, Convents and Monasteries.

At 2:15 P.M., Pilgrims will be invited to Enroll in the Brown Scapular by the Pallottine Fathers. It is said that those who are faithful and die wearing the Brown Scapular will be released from Purgatory on the Saturday following their death, known as the Sabbatine Privilege. Pilgrims will have an opportunity to Recite the Most Holy Rosary. The Pilgrimage will conclude with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Farewell of Pilgrims.
