Church #81 - Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Providence




I walked here for a Sunday morning Mass last week. This church is on Atwells Ave., somewhat set back from the main street, so it actually took me a while after I moved to Rhode Island to notice that it was there. It shares a parish with Holy Ghost down the street.



This is yet another beautiful old Rhode Island church. The inside is dominated by the wonderful bright blue windows behind the altar, with a huge picture of Our Lady between them. Other interior details include, oddly enough, two baptismal fonts. There's a very cool-looking baptismal font chapel off to one side of the altar area, which unfortunately has been damaged by leaks. The balcony is open and used by the parish's music minister, but I didn't get a chance to get a closer look at its rose window.
