NO STOPPING THIS VIGIL: This arrived at

Dear Friends & Supporters & Media,
A lot has been happening this
holiday season for the Mount Carmel Church in East Boston.
Most of you know that the Archdiocese has not granted Mt.
Carmel a midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, although he did
grant it for other suppressed parishes. Being an Italian Church, the
midnight Eve Mass is the most celebrated, meaningful and
traditional event for Italians!! We were overlooked once
again.
On Friday December 24th at 4:00PM we will hold a brief
communion service. Immediately following the service we will
hold a candlelight vigil at San Padre Pio site, directly
across the street from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish. We
are going to pray for the Archdiocese to
"See the Light."
We need your support! Please make an effort to stop by for
at least 1/2 hour. Spread the word. God Bless you all and
happy holidays!
Our Lady of Mount Carmel
128 Gove Street
East Boston, MA 02128
