Dedicating Saint Mary of Monte Carmelo Church in Melrose Park
Over 6,000 Italians attended the ceremony for the new Saint Mary of Monte Carmelo church in Melrose Park last Sunday. The feast day, normally July 16, was postponed to July 21 for the blessing of the chapel. Officials welcomed the visitors, and a formal procession followed with village leaders, police, trustees, and a large group of Italians including civil and religious dignitaries.
