Boynton and Oakwood Heights

[kryptonite]

There was an Italian Catholic church on Fort St. that only recently closed. It was a small church, but I can't recall the name right now. Maybe Mt. Carmel or Our Lady of mt. Carmel?? It seems like it closed either this year or 2009.

It was Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on Oakwood. Not to be confused with the Wyandotte church of the same name. My friend's mother went there. It had actually originally been a Maltese parish, and the priest was Maltese, as was some of the congregation. A lot of the Italians down there also went to All Saints on the other side of the Rouge River on Fort St., and some of their kids went to school there back when the school was open.
