The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was started by our Italian ancestors thanking God through the intercession of the Blessed Mother for their safe passage to the USA and the bounty of their crops. The 150th Anniversary of the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Festival was extraordinary! The largest crowds that we have seen in decades with a feeling of profound faith and tradition.
