If you ask Richard Montella why the Saint Rocco Church’s Annual Feast and Festival has been a special success through decades of operation, he’d quickly say, “It’s because of the way our parish community comes together.”
Montella, who works daily in the food industry as a sales and marketing consultant, is a perfect example of the dozens of proud parishioners who’ll work in many capacities at this weekend’s fun and food fest that opens tonight at Festival Field behind the Roman Catholic Church at 925 Atwood Ave. in Johnston.
