In the Beginning: All'inizio
In 2022, a group of passionate Italians from Springfield came together with a shared vision of creating a group where people could come together to celebrate and learn about our Italian culture. With determination and hard work, St. Padre Pio 3013 Sons & Daughters of Italy was born.
Our Community: La Nostra Comunita'
Our Italian community is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to have built a community of business owners, professionals, artists, performers, educators, and supporters who share our passion for promoting our Italian cultural understanding and appreciation.

Since our officially founding in 2023, St. Padre Pio 3013 Sons & Daughters of Italy has hosted countless cultural events, music and art exhibitions, and educational programs. We have also collaborated with many local organizations to support our goal in promoting our Italian Culture. We have brought back Italian Feasts and processions, Columbus Day celebrations, and periodic Italian Masses.
