| Madonna della Fontana, ora pro nobis |
A new GoFundMe campaign was recently launched by the Società Madonna Della Fontana and Spilingese Social Club in Newark, New Jersey to help raise money for the creation of a new processional statue of the Madonna della Fontana. Devotees will carry the statue during the Annual Feast of the Madonna della Fontana and San Michele Arcangelo, celebrated on the third Sunday in May, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in the Ironbound Section of Newark.
The new statue will be handcrafted in Lindenwood by Ferdinand Stufflesser artisans from Ortisei, Bolzano. It will be scaled to the exact measurements of the original statue in Spilinga, Calabria and is scheduled to be completed before the feast day on May 21, 2023.
Funds that exceed the goal ($15,000) will be put toward crowns from Serpone, Naples
Please help spread the word and keep the tradition alive!
