Mount Carmel Feast celebrated with solemnity
Feast of our Lady of Mt. Carmel is a important yearly happening at
Carmel Hill, Mangalore. It recalls the rich faith the Carmelite Bishops
and missionaries in the Diocese of Mangalore 150 years ago left behind.
It is still vibrant and prophetic. The sober Marian piety they handed
over through various hymns and devotions to the scapular and rosary are
still very much nurturing the faith of the people. The church celebrates
Mary's feast on 16th of July as the day of our lady of Mt. Carmel; but
by popular demand it is being celebrated at Carmel Hill on a Sunday
previous to the feast., which falls this year on the 13th when everyone
who comes is taking away a scapular for personal use.

The
Carmelites in Karnataka: The Teresian Carmelites had established themselves in
Goa and in Kerala in the seventeenth century. And since the region formerly
known as the Carnatic, lies between Goa in the north and Kerala in the South,
the Carmelites had inevitably to pass through Karnataka when proceeding by land
from Goa to Kerala. And it is not surprising to find them residing at least on a
temporary basis, in places like Bijapur, which form part of today's Karnataka.
In his ‘Viaggio alle Indie Orientali’ Fr. Vincent Mary of St Catherine, has left
us interesting descriptions of the beliefs, customs, feasts of the Canara of his
time, and even of the scenic beauties and the cultivation and other aspects of
life. But he found the Christians greatly neglected. And, on his reporting the
need of the Canara Christians to the Holy See, Mangalore secured its first Vicar
Apostolic in 1677.
