Portuguese tradition comes alive at Our Woman of Mount Carmel Parish feast
NEW BEDFORD – This previous weekend, Our Woman of Mount Carmel Parish in New Bedford’s South Finish celebrated its annual feast, coming alive with leisure, actions, Portuguese meals and a Solemn Procession celebrating religion and its Portuguese roots.
The procession on Sunday afternoon featured 5 Portuguese marching bands from Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, along with a number of statues, quite a few non secular and civic organizations, and youngsters dressed as angels and saints.
