I read about this shrine in an article called 'Miracle on 115th St.' and made a trip to NY in 2009 just to see it, based on the article. I felt more at home there than I did in my own parish church, for some reason. It was so hard to leave, even though I knew no one there at all. I'm so taken by that statue of Our Lady. It's so chaste and humble. I'm not Italian, but I am a faithful Catholic. Thank you for the video! God bless you and may Our Lady of Mount Carmel watch over you all! XOXOXOX

I was so happy to come across this beautiful video of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. My maternal grandparents were married in this church on 7 January 1912 and it was so wonderful to see where their vows were taken. I have their original marriage certificate. Thank you for this lovely video! I am going to send a link to your video to all my family so that they can see where our ancestors began our family tree!

jpitera123: Correction to your vid post - the saint statue at 2:20 is not St. Lucy - that is St. Rita of Cascia.

Have you been up to Italian Harlem lately? I was wondering how much is left besides Rao's? I have heard less than 1,000 live there today?

any links for the website for the church ?
The website that existed in the past is no longer available, I am afraid. Best wishes
