The solemn novena this year to Our Lady of Mount Carmel will be celebrated each evening at our chapel at 7:00 p.m.  Due to these trying times with COVID 19, our capacity in the chapel will be reduced.  So we are allowing for an overflow outside and in the speak room.  We will also broadcast this event each night on INSTAGRAM.  Just download the INSTAGRAM APP, create an ID and password, Friend carmelmonastery, then we will let you know when we begin broadcasting.

The novena this year will be celebrated most days by Bishop Emeritus Arthur Serratelli, who is now retired from the diocese of Patterson.

On the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, mass will be celebrated at 7:00 p.m. followed by blessing and distribution of scapulars.

Novena Prayer:

LET US PRAY

O Almighty and Eternal God, Who didst adorn the holy order of Mount Carmel with the Glorius title of Thy Immaculate and ever Blessed Morher, grant propitiously that those who celebrate her Solemn Commemoration may, by the assistance of Thy grace, turn their affecgtions from all irregular adherence to this world, and place them entirely on the enjoyment of Thee.  Who livest and reignest, one God world without end.  Amen
