       Trip To SanFelese Italy        

     

By way of update on the Society’s trip to Italy, a discussion regarding timing was held at the Christmas Dinner. In order to avoid a potential conflict with the trip planned by St. Joachim’s Parish in the Fall of 2010 the membership present voted to delay our trip until the Spring of 2011 most likely around Easter which will fall on April 24, 2011. Based upon this date we will begin the task of building a proposed itinerary and pricing out options. As more information concerning the trip becomes available we will make it available on this website.

 

We believe that this Trip will provide us with a unique opportunity to view first hand those locations so important to our cultural heritage. The majority of Italian-Americans have their roots in Southern Italy. On our twelve day visit we plan to visit Rome, the Neopalitan and Almalfi regions as well as Sicily. However, our Trip also proposes to explore our regional roots and to become better acquainted with the Lucania/Basilicata countryside of our ancestors. This area, the home of the “first” Italians is regarded as the last unexplored and untraveled part of Italy by tourists. We plan to spend two nights in the Vulture region, and to visit San Fele, one full day, as well as Venosa and Melfi.

  Day trip to Newark to celebrate   the feast day of St. Gerard Majella        

                        

     

 On October 16, 2010, a Saturday, the Society is considering a day trip to Newark to celebrate the feast day of St. Gerard Majella. St. Gerard is the patron saint of mothers and in particular expectant mothers experiencing difficult pregnancies. St. Lucy’s parish in Newark established in the 1890’s is the location of the US national shrine to St. Gerard. Every year on his feast day the parish holds a large religious devotional service and street fair. St. Gerard was an 18th century religious lay brother who was born in the village of Muro Lucano, the neighboring village to San Fele. His father died when Gerard was eight years old and his mother sent Gerard to live with her parents in their home village of San Fele. Gerard spent the next twelve years of his life living in San Fele and learning the trade of a tailor before entering the religious life. St. Gerard is also recognized as the patron saint of Muro Lucano and of the whole of the Italian State of Basilicata/Lucania.

 IF enough people would be interested we could hire a bus for the trip and possibly also visit the new Basilica in Newark which is nearby as well as have lunch in one of the city’s many great Portuguese restaurants. St. Lucy’s Church is also one of only a very few Churches that has a statue of the Ma Donna Di Pierno on display and bearing that ancient title. Most Churches title such statues under the more modern title of Our Lady of Perpetual Care. The Di Pierno designation reflects that many of the original St. Lucy parishioners were from the San Fele and Vulture region Italy.
