History of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel - Latin Mass Community (OLMC)

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Latin Mass Community was established on July 16, 1996 by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.

Devotion to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel dates back to the 13th Century when according to Carmelite tradition, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock and gave him the Brown Scapular. The Brown Scapular is worn by many Catholic faithful as a sign of love and devotion for the Mother of God.

"Most worthy Queen of the World, Mary ever Virgin, pray for our peace and safety; thou who didst bring forth Christ the Lord and Saviour of all mankind."
