Multicultural Festivities at St. Andrew Avellino in Flushing

saa2Four hundred parishioners and friends met in the school cafeteria at St. Andrew Avellino, Flushing, for the 15th annual Multicultural Sunday. The late January celebration included dancers in a dozen acts from Flamenco to Hip Hop and 20 food stations featuring ethnic offerings prepared by parishioners. It followed a special Mass with a procession of parishioners in costumes from their native lands. In his homily, Father Joseph T. Holcomb, pastor, spoke of the universality of the Catholic Church and acknowledged the presence of worshippers from every continent. (Photos © Francis Kirchoff)
