The Parade Committee commits personal time and energy to make sure the parade goes off perfectly. It also takes a lot of money to make this event happen. If you are a small business, would like to support a local tradition important to our community, I humbly ask that you consider supporting the parade by purchasing an ad in the official journal.

If you are able, I humbly ask that you consider supporting the Belleville-Nutley Columbus Day Parade by purchasing an ad in the official journal.

I can't let the day end without offering up a prayer to La Madonna della Neve. This is incredibly special to me, as she is the patron saint of Calabritto - my heritage town, whose feast day is today. When I discovered my husband and I were married on this feast day, I felt like I uncovered an amazing gift.

Today I was finally able to muster enough energy to write a post. As we are shifting into the warmth of spring, the Italian cultural calendar is packed full of wonderful events. Some are fun, some are for religious reflection, and some are education, but all are well worthwhile!
