Order of Sons of Italy in America

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend both these events which take place at the Most Precious Blood courtyard, located at 109 Mulberry Street, New York, NY 10013.

The Lt. Joseph Petrosino Lodge, stationed in downtown Manhattan's Little Italy, was formed by John Fratta and Robert Fonte and celebrates its 13th anniversary this year. The Order Sons of Italy in America was formed in 1905 in the very same neighborhood. Current Lodge President is Emelise Aleandri. Visitors are always welcome to attend the monthly meetings in the church hall at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month.
