Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church parish was founded 108 years ago. The author of the Greatest Story Ever Told, Fulton Oursler, wrote in 1952 that he always "looked forward to passing through White Plains on the train for the pleasure of seeing the inspiring gold-crowned campanile of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, the bell tower of the Stigmatine Fathers parish." The church offers an array of faith-based activities as well as a Valentine's Day dance, trips to Atlantic City and Bingo on Monday nights.
