It was a strong showing for reviving Italian-American culture in the North End as over 100 new members were recently sworn in as part of the founding for Lodge #2996 in the Order Sons & Daughters of Italy of America. A formal ceremony was held at the newly restored Saint Leonard Church in Boston’s North End on October 25, 2018 followed by a social reception at the Fisherman’s Club.
OSIA National President Vera Girolani and State President, Antonio Sestito, swore in President Luigi Natale along with a slate of new officers for the North End lodge.
