Celebrating the 99th Anniversary in honor of Saint Agrippina di Mineo August 2 – 4th, 2013

Each year for the past 98 years this group of devoted people come together to renew their faith in Saint Agrippina in Boston’s North End, as was the custom in the land of origin, Mineo, Sicily. Each year everyone is invited to witness the respect and honor that is bestowed on this young, beautiful martyred saint.

The members of the Saint Agrippina di Mineo benefit society would like to welcome you, your friends and families to come celebrate the 99th anniversary of this great tradition. Come and see the procession, eat some food, play some games and listen to the music. We hope to see you there – VIVA SAINT AGRIPPINA!!!

Headlining the entertainment on Saturday, August 4th is “All-4-One.” The traditional “tug-of-war” will take place at the closing on Sunday night around 8:00 pm.

For more information and updates, see the Facebook page or SaintAgrippinaBoston.com.
