The St. Rocco Society was founded on Roosevelt Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1889 by immigrants from the Southern Italian City of Potenza of the Basilicata region. Every year since its founding, without interruption, the Society has celebrated Saint Rocco's Feast with a procession. It is one of the oldest Italian American societies in New York State.
If you are one of the many devotees that have celebrated and honored St. Rocco throughout the years and helped in continuing this tradition, we would like to thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you again this year at the 135th Celebration of the Feast of St. Rocco. All new devotees are welcome! If you have not attended our Feast before, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to join us at this year's Feast on August 18, 2024. All are encouraged to bring their family and friends.
