Bishop Robert Brennan led a lively celebration at St. Anthony-St. Alphonsus Parish in Greenpoint on May 10, Mother’s Day.
The bilingual Mass was in honor of the 195th anniversary of the order that runs the parish, the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate.
While the priests have only been in Brooklyn about 15 years, their congregation was founded in 1831 and is the first indigenous religious congregation in the Catholic Church of India.
After the Mass, the Legion of Mary led a May Crowning, and Bishop Brennan blessed all of the mothers present.
