Conversing Conversion explores these events in history and hagiography:
500th anniversary of the birth of St.Philip Neri (July 21)
750th anniversary of the birth of Dante Alighieri (May – June)
1000th anniversary Kievan-Russian martyrs SS.Boris & Gleb (July 24)
*Join these renowned speakers for a conference covering the historical-spiritual importance of the Greatest Poet in Italian History; the Eccentric Conversationalist of the Counter Reformation; the First Kiev-Rus Martyrs. What possible connections do they display? What lessons do they convey?
Dante converses with the inhabitants of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. How do his conversations with sinners and saints lead him (and his readers) to “conversion”? His fellow Florentine, Philip Neri walked the streets of Rome striking up conversations with strangers who soon became fast friends. How did their penchant for conversation with God and one another lead to the transformation of Rome? Boris and Gleb were the sons of Prince Vladimir of Kiev whose conversion to Christianity meant the conversion of his nation. How did their shed blood seal the Christianization of the Kievan-Rus and inform Orthodox hagiography? Love and Life, Sin and Mercy, Imagination and Reason…Conversing Conversion.

THROUGH 131 YEARS HARLEM HONORS ITS BLESSED MOTHER
Processions, Novenas, and Prayers to Honor Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Pontifical Shrine Church of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel, located at 448 East 116th street in Manhattan has announced plans for its 131th annual Feast in honor of its patron Madonna. Long the largest singularly sponsored religious procession in New York City, plans call for this year’s religious feast to run from July 6 through July 18.
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. Indeed Marian hymns and prayers are chanted in various tongues: it is not unusual to hear French, Latin, Spanish and English as one walks a scant few feet among the thousands in the procession. The Feast is that universally appealing and multi- cultural.
Perhaps it is minor miracle in itself that the various ethnics get along, marching together in honor of Mary. Perhaps another miracle is that religious people make pilgrimages to Harlem, by the thousands yearly, or even that local residents still decorate their houses to honor the procession’s passing. The faithful pack the church, those unable to enter line the steps and street by the door. Each has his own special prayer. Some ask for help or a healing; some on their knees make their way up the center aisle in fulfillment of vow for a granted favor. All agree there is something spiritual, powerful here, and wish to be a part of it.
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.
Retired Auxiliary Bishop Sansiriq will officiate at the French/Creole Mass for the Haitian community.
