San Rocco di Potenza - Chicago - St Williams Annual Feast 2024

This year's feast was particularly special, as we revived some cherished traditions from the past, including the Italian dancers, the young angels in the church and procession and a tribute to our founder, Paul V. Carelli. The turnout exceeded expectations, with several long-standing members noting they had never seen such participation before. This remarkable attendance is a testament to the enduring Catholic Italian spirit in Chicago. As one of the last remaining parish-neighborhood societies in the city, we sincerely hope that our efforts inspire other societies to rebuild and once again take to the streets to honor our saints, Our Blessed Mother (the Queen of All Saints), and above all, Christ the King.

The Society of San Rocco di Potenza invites you to enjoy this video, and we hope it inspires you to be a light of Christ in the modern world.
