WHY “OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL”?
Our parish’s first pastor, Rev. Charles Warren Currier, fostered a lifelong devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and it is believed it is he who chose to name the church in her honor. In fact in 1890 he published a book chronicling the history of Carmel in America: “A History of the Discalced Carmelites in the United States”

OUR COMMUNITY, OUR HISTORY
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is more than 130 years old! Our roots in the Essex community go back to the late 1800s when we were a tiny parish of mostly industrious farmers of Western European descent dedicated to their love of their faith and the church. There was no physical church until July 16, 1893, the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, when the cornerstone of a small wooden structure was laid and OLMC Essex was raised.

The current Spanish mission style building that stands today was dedicated in 1938, the fulfilled dream of Father Nicholas Jaselli who modeled it after a church he saw while visiting El Paso, Texas.
