Franklin Square's 88th Our Lady of Mt. Carmel feast honors Italian tradition

By: Renee DeLorenzo

Italian heritage was on full display during Franklin Square’s 88th Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast, a five-day celebration that kicked off on July 16 with a festival at Mount Carmel Chapel, on Stewart Place, in Franklin Square.

The religious tradition, celebrated internationally, honors the Virgin of Carmel, which is the Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mass was hosted at the church at 10 a.m., and the evening feast began at 6 p.m.
