San Rocco is also the patron of Simbario, Catanzaro, Calabria, as
any member of the Società Unione Progresso e Civilità di Tutti i
Paesani di Simbario could tell you.

Procession begins at St. Theresa's Chinese Catholic Church (formerly
Santa Maria Incoronata) at 9 am, followed by Mass at 10:30 a.m. Mass, followed by a ANOTHER procession with Caliendo's Banda Napoletana, the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and kissing of the holy relic of San Rocco, and a buffet dinner afterward. A Novena will be celebrated on Aug. 16. (Bruno Bertucci, 312-446-0504)

Buffet dinner!
The Bertucci boys have sadly closed their restaurant. But it was
great while it lasted.
