Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Rosebank)
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Grotto, 243 Virginia Ave, Staten Island, NY
Italian immigrant dockworkers founded the Society of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Rosebank in 1903, and their feast still fills Virginia Avenue each July with food stalls, games, and nightly entertainment. A grotto built by society members in 1937 anchors the celebration, distinct from the larger Giglio feast across the harbor in Williamsburg. Mass at the Church of St. Joseph and Mary Immaculate marks the feast day.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
