Serratelli, Bishop of Paterson, New Jersey, will celebrate an EF Pontifical Mass for the patronal feast day at the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, located at 259 Oliver Street in Newark. The Mass will be followed by an outdoor procession through the Ironbound with the statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, accompanied by a full symphonic brass band, and stopping in front of private homes and businesses, then solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament in the church.
