Traditional Mass at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Harlem

Today a Solemn Mass was celebrated at the Pontifical Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Harlem, NY, for the Traditional Tridentine Latin Pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

This year the church celebrated its 134th Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel with Masses and celebrations all week.  In the program for the feast:  “As time goes by, the faces of the pilgrims may have changed, yet still they come as faithfully as they did in 1884.  Still the same questions, still the same entreaties, and still they have the same gratitude for their answered prayers.”

The Mass began with a penitential entrance of pilgrims on their knees, a long-time traditional at the church.

After Mass there was a Eucharistic procession and Benediction.
