Parishioners Feast, Dance in Celebration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Editor's Note: Our Lady of Mount Carmel parishioner Tomasa Alvarado provided the following description of the July 16 Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast. Check out a gallery of photos from the event, taken by Rafi Perez Productions.

"Every year, on July 16th our church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in honor to our parish and the devotion that the Blessed Virgin Mary has to those who are devoted to her, and who signal that devotion by wearing the Brown Scapular.

We also celebrated the 45 years of Priesthood for Father Manuel Lorente.

More than five hundred parishioners attended this celebration. It was a beautiful event! Food, Piñatas, Songs and  a group of dance.

 We are so GRATEFUL to God and Our Lady of Mount Carmel!!!"
