On July 7, our Carmelite Friars will begin a nine-day novena honoring Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Please join us on the journey by downloading the novena for print or use on your mobile phone. On Saturday, July 15, and Sunday, July 16, the National Shrine will host a Solemn Commemoration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel—including prayer, music, Mass, and Adoration. We invite you to join us in person if you can; here are directions and information to make your visit enjoyable and fulfilling. In addition, please send us the names of loved ones or friends you would like remembered, along with any special intentions. If you are able to send a gift in support of our ministries as well, it would be truly appreciated.
