Historic Feast Photos

We are putting up these old feast photos again because we had an email submission identifying the individuals pictured! Thank you!

The first & last photos are of the DiMatteo family and some members of the Infante family (who visited the DiMatteo farm during the summer). The first photo includes Rex DiMatteo, Nick DiMatteo, his wife Mary, Rose DiMatteo Gambino, Josephine DiMatteo Giordano, Elia (Willie) DiMatteo, Theresa DiMatteo, and Henry DiMatteo. The last photo includes Giovanni DiMatteo (founder of the Feast), his wife Antoinette, his father, Guiseppe, Joseph DiMatteo, Jennie DiMatteo Ali, Henry DiMatteo, Nick & Mary DIMatteo, Rose DiMatteo Gambino, Infante family members. Photo's were probably taken in late 30's.

Remember, St. Mary's Assumption Feast is August 15 & 16. We have worked very hard to make this feast even more special and fun. We have some great food and bands lined up for both days, inflatables for the kids, of course the traditional masses and procession, and lots more. We're so much fun, we're just pulsating with vibrancy. Join us!

Why Save St. Mary's?

What's true for OL Queen of Peace, Pitman & Assumption, Wildwood Crest is also true for St. Mary's Malaga:

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

-Anthony Mecca, Queen of Peace Parish, Pitman (also on the slate for closure), May 8, 2008

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."

-Fred Spiewak, Assumption Parish, Wildwood Crest, June 11, 2008
