It was a night of celebration and recognition at Youngstown’s Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica. Dozens of volunteers and sponsors came together to be honored by the church for another successful Italian Festival. WKBN was among those recognized for our many years of sponsorship and support for the festival.
At the end of the night, all of the money raised from the festival this summer was presented in an $86,000 check to Monsignor Cariglio. It’s the largest amount of money raised by the festival in its 24-year history.
