Sunday, September 28th, members of the Club Carinesi D'America of Brooklyn, New York (7618 17th Ave., Brooklyn, New York) gathered at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church (7201 15th Avenue), to celebrate the Annual Mass and Procession in honor of S.S. Crocifisso.

The Most Holy Crucifix is displayed in front the clubhouse
Taking time from their own procession, the Società Santa Fortunata di New York pay their respects
The procession makes its way through the streets 
After Mass, devotees carry the vara back to the clubhouse
There was a terrific turnout for the procession
