The Giglio Committee, of which my Dad is still a part of at almost 85 years old, is technically independent of the Church. But they work very closely with Mount Carmel.

Actually, most of the meetings are at Mount Carmel, so most people assume that the Church runs it. But the Committee itself does work outside of East Harlem with other Churches (for instance, they pitch in at the much larger Giglio feast sponsored by Mount Carmel in Brooklyn).
