The Feast of St. Rocco in Glen Cove, Long Island

Support the Feast of St. Rocco at the Church of St. Rocco in Glen Cove, Long Island. Solemn Traditional Mass will be celebrated this Saturday, July 31 at 4 pm. Low traditional Mass will be celebrated on Sundy, Aug. 1 at 7:30 am.

From the organizers: “Many other religious events, including a big procession of St Rocco, patron against plagues and contagious diseases,  and the most amazing food and great rides and games. The Canons Regular of St Augustine have done so much for the Latin Mass community, homeschoolers, and all the Catholics in the Glen Cove area and beyond.

“The feast is a huge piece of St Rocco’s financial survival. It had to be canceled last year because of covid so the parish took a huge economic hit. There are many great food booths but the high point is in the church hall, where the dedicated and highly gifted Italian nonnas (grandmas) have been cooking homemade Italian foods of many sorts for weeks, freezing them to be ready for the great feast. There is indoor seating for meals or take out. Unbelievably well worth the trip alone. Please share this widely and encourage friends, family and neighbors to go. “
