Celebration of St. Nicholas' Feast 1999 by Pugliesi in Chicago

Association of Pugliesi in America

Feast of St. Nicholas

Sunday, June 4, 2000

Italian Cultural Center, Stone Park (Illinois, USA)

The rain damped the celebration this year keeping many of the Pugliesi at home. Taking refuge under a field pavilion, a group of about 150 Pugliesi meet to celebrate mass and chant in honor of their patron saint, St. Nicholas of Bari. The Neapolitan band was on hand to excite the crowd with its tunes.

The partecipation was much more lively in the evening when nearly 350 people participated to a dinner-dance at the Crystal Palace in Des Plaines for an evening of gala and entertainment. Dott. Domenico "Mimì" Bellomo was recognized during the evening by the ARPA group for the work and support that he has provided for the Pugliese community in the World.
