Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church

It was my first time visiting the Shrine and I went there for the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel July 16th and don't regret it at all. It is big, beautiful, clean: the restrooms didn't smell and there was no dirt. It is a Holy place of worship where I really felt the presence of my God and Savior through his Blessed Mother. They have many statues of the Blessed Mother of course most of them, of angels. The mass is mostly Latin which is a change from the regular Catholic mass I attend. Even though it is in Harlem, once inside it is silent and you are in the best conditions to worship. There is a grotto there where you can light candles at your intentions and the store has many religious articles. They will definitely see me more there

1 of only 3 Pontifical Shrines in the United States - The Blessed and Immaculate Virgin of Mount Carmel - honored and protected by the Pallotine Fathers. Abundant graces and protection to be obtained by those who pray in this house of God. One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, the Blessed Virgin Mary will save the world.

Such a lovely place. Be mindful of church opening.

It's a beautiful church. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. You feel motivated or drawn to pray and adore God. Everyone is kind and friendly.

It’s a beautiful church with a very long history in my partner’s family. Family members have been going there for the Feast Day for about 90 years.

Most of the churchgoers don’t wear masks during mass. Nobody enforces it either. Come here if you wanna get COVID.

We go to Rome to see architectural and painting works of art, Mont Carmel in NY is for the Tourists!
