Scaled-back St. Mary’s Feast goes back to its roots

By: Anita Baffoni, Bay Gammans

St. Mary’s Feast in Cranston will be significantly scaled back this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 115th celebration this weekend will include masses at St. Mary’s Church, a small procession of the blessed mother and Italian food to-go.

“Our plans for 2020 had to be massively scaled back due to the COVID-19 crisis,” St. Mary’s Feast Society President Matthew Volpi said. “This is not the feast we wanted to run to honor our blessed mother, but the current health crisis and stringent, but absolutely necessary, regulations on social distancing left us little choice.”
