Valley Stream Village Trustee
Dominick M. Minerva and his
wife Janet have been chosen
Supreme Patrons of the 43rd
annual St. Anthony's Feast to be
held June 25 at Greis Park in
Lynbrook.
The Minervas were chosen by
unanimous vote of the ad-ministrative
committee of the St.
Anthony's Italian Benevolent
Society, it was announced by Vito
Proscia, feast president, and
Natale J. Tedone, society
president.
The gala festival, which draws
20,000 visitors annually, is a
colorful event highlighted by the
traditional and symbolic blessing
of the bread.
The coveted role of Supreme
Patrons went to the Minervas
because of their "commitment to
. the best interests of the Italian
community and the community
at large."
In addition to serving on the
Valley Stream Village Board,
Minerva is also a Deputy Nassau
County Attorney. He is a former
assistant to the Nassau Social
Services Commissioner and prior
to that assignment he was a
member of Nassau District At-torney
William Cahn's staff.
The festivities of the feast will
begin at 10 a.m. with the arrival
of the initial visitors to the park,
located at Horton Ave. between
Sunrise Highway and Merrick
Rd. A mass will be celebrated at 1
p.m. by the Rev. Salvatore Rizzi.
After mass, the bread, which is
donated as a symbolic act of
charity in honor of St. Anthony,
will be blessed and distributed. It
is estimated conservatively that
more than 6,000 loaves of bread,
ranging in size up to six pounds,
will be contributed.
At 5 p.m. formal ceremonies
will begin. Featured will be
speeches by Supreme Patron
Minerva, Feast President
Pi-oscia and Society President
Tedone, among others.
At approximately 6 p.m., a
statue of St. Anthony will be
removed from a portable chapel
and carried around the perimeter
of the park in a procession in
which all visitors will take part.
Because of the huge crowds,
the procession customarily lasts
two hours.
A raffle, followed by a spec-tacular
fireworks display, will
close the eventful day. .
The St. Anthony's Italian
Benevolent Society is composed
of Americans who emigrated ~ or
whose parents emigrated - from
the province of Bari in Italy. It
was formed decades ago to
provide financial aid to members
in time of economic hardship,
illness and death.
