On 30 April and 1 May in the church square there will be various entertainment and performances together with a rich food and wine stand. Grand finale with the comedian Uccio De Santis and “Rock Sotto Assedio”. Proceeds destined for the upcoming works on the oratory.
The “Patronal Feast of San Giuseppe the Worker” returns to Latina Scalo with important confirmations and interesting news. The parish committee organized two intense days full of activities and entertainment in the church square, involving associations, dance schools, gyms and sports clubs in the area. Naturally, the presence of the food stand is inevitable, set up by the tireless members of the committee and enriched with various delicacies. The proceeds from the festival, and in particular from the lottery, will be used to finance the upcoming renovation works of the oratory, destined to become an important structure serving the residents. The Parish Priest, Don Nello Zimbardi, focused on this aspect: “Every year I commit myself, and I ask many to do so, in organizing this tiring and complex event. And I tell you that, perhaps, I’m not even that good at it, because you either have certain gifts or nothing. But I am with you and I would like you to be with me, because this celebration can also be a great community event where we feel accompanied by each other. Thanks to those who will be with us and to those who will help us realize our projects.”
