Celebrating the Sixth Annual Sanfedisti Feast of San Nicola di Bari in Brooklyn, New York

Following Latin Mass Sunday morning, members and friends of the Fratelli della Santa Fede (aka Sanfedisti) gathered at Amunì Ristorante (7217 3rd Avenue) in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, to celebrate the 6th Annual Feast of San Nicola di Bari with the commemoration of Sant’Ambrogio and Santa Burgundofara.

Some twenty-five partygoers were treated to another fantastic multi-course Sicilian repast by Chef Vincent Dardanello. On the menu this year were fresh cavatelli with a traditional Sunday ragù, replete with fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, hot and sweet sausages, and braciola di cotenna di maiale. We also enjoyed homemade crepe-style manicotti, caponata, arancini, carduna, and carciofi fritti. We finished our festive gathering with digestivi, assorted nuts, fruit, fennel, café, and pastries.

Heartfelt thanks to our dear friends from the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George, San Rocco Society of Potenza in NYC, the Brooklyn Latin Mass Society, the Italian Mass Project, the Holy Name Society of the Shrine Church of St. Bernadette, and the Angus Dei Knights of Columbus Council 12361 for joining us in the festivities.

Special thanks to Professor David DiPasquale for exhibiting selections from his Liber Mysteria and generously donating an original drawing for the raffle.

As always, it was a great joy to celebrate our faith and culture together. Evviva San Nicola di Bari!
