The Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church is the name given to a religious building belonging to the Catholic Church and is located in the town of Cruz Bay, Saint John the smallest of the three main islands of the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea.
The temple was opened and blessed in 1962, follows the Roman or Latin rite and is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands (Dioecesis Sancti Thomae in Insulis Virgineis). It has its origins in the donation of land that made William Callahan in early 1960 to build a Catholic parish.
In 2012 the parish began a campaign to seek a donation of land to allow him to build another temple in the sector because the current temple became insufficient for the needs and size of the congregation.
