The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in New York City, NY has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century when it was established by a group of Italian immigrants seeking solace and religious comfort. Over the years, it has become a spiritual haven for the Italian community and has expanded its devotion to include various ethnic groups, making it a diverse and inclusive place of worship. With its iconic Statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the church has been recognized as the original Italian National Shrine Parish for the United States and the Americas. It has undergone significant milestones, including the formal coronation of the image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the transfer of the sanctuary to the upper church.
