On Sunday, July 8, 2018 at 5:00 PM, Qurbono Qadisho will be offered according to the Antiochian Rite of the Syriac Catholic Church. Priests from the Eparchy of Our Lady of Deliverance of Newark will celebrate and chant the Holy Qurbono.

Assisting at this Sacred Liturgical Rite will fulfill your obligation to attend Mass on Sunday. All are welcome.

Following Holy Liturgy, the infirm are invited to approach the Altar Rail to be blessed.

This Liturgy at Our Lady Mt. Carmel is a part of the Pallottine tradition of presenting Eastern Catholic liturgies, especially during the Octave of the Epiphany, and now the Novena in preparation for the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
