THAT’S AMORÉ!

Holy Rosary’s 115th La Festa Italiana in Historic Downtown Jersey City Music, Dancing & Fellowship; Wed, Aug. 15--Sun, Aug. 19, 5pm--11pm

By Sally Deering

A

t Holy Rosary Church in Downtown Jersey City, everyone seems to be one big extended family. To celebrate their extended family, the Very Rev. Pastor Jerzy “Jurek” R. Zaslona and church members invite the community to La Festa Italiana, the church’s annual Italian street festival held in August.

Starting, Wed, Aug. 15, and running every day through Sunday, Aug. 19th, from 5 pm-11 pm, La Festa Italiana will transform 6th & Brunswick Streets into a lively block party filled with vendors selling delicious ethnic foods, bands playing chart-topping hits, and rides and games guaranteed to give kids memories that last a lifetime.

Founded in 1885, Holy Rosary Church is the first Italian Roman Catholic Parish in New Jersey; and La Festa Italiana is Holy Rosary’s special way of saying thank you to its parishioners and neighbors.

This year, the church celebrates 133 years of serving the spiritual needs of its parish and the Historic Downtown Jersey City community.

“Traditions and customs define us as a community and La Festa gives us the opportunity to become a more integrated community,” Fr. Jurek says. “When people come to La Festa, they come for the music and the food, but they also come for the fellowship, to see friends, and create

children. We are here to serve the people of Jersey City.”

The Bands The entertainment roster for this year’s La Festa Italiana is a Who’s Who of talent who will get festival-goers swinging and dancing in the streets. Here’s the schedule: Opening night, Wed, Aug 15: THE CAMEOS; Thurs, Aug 16: DJ CARLOS SOUNDS; Fri, Aug 17: FIRST KISS; Sat, Aug 18: SUNSET SOUNDZ; and on closing night, Sun, Aug 19: TOTAL SOUL. Along with the bands, a DJ plays tunes at the corner of 6th & Brunswick Streets – every night of the festival!

New to La Festa Italiana and looking forward to rocking the crowd is the band SUNSET SOUNDZ based in North Hudson.

Band member Tony Annacone says the band may be new to La Festa Italiana, but they’ve been playing together a long time and know how to get the crowd jazzed up: “We play Big Band songs from the 1940s all the way to Bruno Mars. We can’t wait to perform.”

A Foodie’s Paradise As La Festa’s Opening Day – Wed, Aug. 15th –

draws near, Holy Rosary parishioners are busily preparing Italian specialties that attract festival-goers, year-after-year. Treats like Zeppoles showered in powdered-sugar, and Rice Balls (Arancini) drizzled with tomato gravy. At “A Taste of Campobasso”, they’ll have their Famous Wine & Peaches, and home-brewed Limoncello and Creamcello made by The Assunta Wine Girls, who will also be serving fine Italian wines. At Caffe Italiano, Holy Rosary’s church members will sell freshly-made cookies, cakes, cannolis, pies, coffee and tea. Hourly and Super 50/50 raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the five-day festival; and, the popular Money Wheel will return to its original location in the backyard opposite Caffe Italiano.

La Festa Italiana will be a “Foodie’s Paradise” with Food Trucks like Dellano’s/ Anna Maria’s mouth-watering Italian sausage sandwiches, Gyros and shish-ke-babs; and “Hold My Knots”, garlic knot chicken, meatball and eggplant parm sliders. The NYC Mac Truck will have dishes like

deep fried mac ‘n’ cheese bites; and Jerkin’ Chicken will be cooking Caribbean jerk chicken, and rice and beans dishes. New this year, “Bacon Me Crazy” – hotdogs wrapped in bacon.

Also new, Kreme Rollers – ice cream rolled up with tasty candy treats.

And that’s not all!

White Star Bar which offers craft beers & specialty cocktails returns to La Festa along with Maglione’s Italian Ices; Mozzareppa; and VEGBAR Juice+Grub, specializing in fresh vegan juices. Lydia & Pat’s Fresh Seafood Bar returns and gourmet gelati lovers will be thrilled that with Gia’s Gelato will be back. So will Al & Marianne’s Pure & Simple Flatbreads with their artisanal brick-oven pizzas.

“La Festa Italiana is like coming home,” Marianne says. “It’s a great neighborhood feast; so much fun. It’s the one festival we look forward to every year. We love it!”

Holy Rosary also supports its community. This year, parishioner Stephanie Panzariello will oversee the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children (ACBC)

program that raises funds for young burn victims admitted to the Burn Center at Saint Barnabas in Livingston. Throughout La Festa, red bagged-barrels will be available for festival-goers to recycle their aluminum cans. All the proceeds from the collected cans will go to the Burn Center.

Triduum, and Feast Day Masses

On the Opening Day of La Festa Italiana, Aug. 15, at 11 am, the Feast Day Mass in veneration of Maria SS. Dell’Assunta – a holy day of obligation – will be celebrated. Fr. Jurek, who serves as Dean of the Deanery, along with clergy of the Deanery, will offer Mass followed by a traditional street procession where the Holy Statue of Maria SS. Dell’Assunta will be carried through the streets as a blessing to the Downtown Jersey City community. The St. Rocco Feast Day Mass will be offered on Thurs, Aug. 16, at 11 am, also followed by a traditional street procession.
