Monday evening, Knights of the Sacred Military Constatntinian Order of St. George joined the parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Newark, New Jersey to celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph and commemorate the anniversary of the death of the Order’s late Grand Master, HRH Prince don Ferdinando Maria di Borbone of the Two Sicilies.

Mass was sung by celebrant and homilist Very Rev. Msgr. Cav. Joseph Ambrosio, Pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Chaplain of the Order. Monsignor was dutifully assisted by several servers and the OLMC Church Schola Cantorum. Chancellor Mayor Cav. Pasquale Menna, Vice-Chancellor Cav. Patrick O’Boyle, and Cavalieri Thomas Portelli and John Napoli were in attendance.
After Mass, we adjourned to the parish hall for some refreshments and fellowship. Guests enjoyed a delicious spread of southern Italian delicacies, including ziti al forno, melanzane all parmigiana and pasta con sarde. Needless to say, the meal was capped off with coffee and traditional zeppole and sfingi di San Giuseppe.
Thank you Msgr. Ambrosio, parish staff and all the members of OLMC family for your continued warmth and hospitality. As always, it was a great joy to visit your beautiful church and celebrate our faith and culture together. Evviva San Giuseppe!
