Carroll Gardens march marks 64 years of honoring Patron Saint
A Carroll Gardens tradition continues this year.
Brooklyn’s first Italian Roman Catholic Parish will host the Congrega Maria S.S. Addolorata and the people of Mola Di Bari as they honor the feast of their hometown patron saint with a traditional Italian street Procession and Mass this Sunday, Sept. 9.
In a community that has seen a changing identity from its historic days as an Italian stronghold, events such as these recall the humble history of now glamorous brownstones. This year will mark the 64th annual procession, which concludes with a fireworks display and Mass celebrated by Most Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn.
