Business Details
We have served the Albany community since 1909, providing over a century of continuous charitable support and cultural preservation. Our organization was founded by Italian immigrants who recognized a profound moral obligation to assist their neighbors during times of illness and hardship. We initially provided modest financial aid during sickness and assistance for funeral expenses to ensure a decent Christian burial for all. Our members built our permanent meeting hall through their own subscribed bonds, requiring no outside financial assistance. We take pride in having burned the mortgage through dedicated stewardship and community commitment. Our society has expanded to offer a complete banquet facility featuring professional service and elegant dcor.
We actively preserve our Italian heritage while fostering the friendships that resulted from our founders' courageous efforts in a New World. Our bowling league, established in 1945, continues to attract new and younger members to our organization. We maintain a members' room furnished with a television, furniture, and a pool table for social engagement. Our Ladies of Mount Carmel Society sponsors a religious observance that keeps our historic feast alive. We have opened our doors and hearts to our community for generations. Our dedication to the well-being of our community and neighbors remains our guiding principle.
