Nuova Aurora Femminile
Contributed by Rick Landers
The information below has been extracted from the Souvenir Dedication Program, March 17, 1935, for Saint Paul's Roman Catholic Church. The church, located in the City of Erie on Walnut Street between 16th and 17th, had its beginning in May 1891. Ground was broken for a new House of Worship on August 19, 1928, but the economic recession at the end of the 1920s resulted in a partially completed building. With renewed funding efforts about 1933, the building was completed. Images of the pages in the dedication program have been scanned and provided by Rick Landers. Various individuals have assisted in transcribing the documents for presentation here. This particular page has been transcribed by Cheryl Westfall.
Souvenir Dedication Program
Nuova Aurora Femminile
. . . is the feminine side of the larger organization of the same name. Organized in July, 1925, the society has been of marked influence in the life of the Colony and has been of great service to the church. At the organization meeting Mrs. Antoinette Marinelli acted as temporary chairman, she was afterwards duly elected as president and served in capacity for two years. Many and diverse have been the activities of this body of women in functions for the benefit of the church: donations innumerable, card parties and booths at the annual bazaar have been some of the features of the material cooperation extended in recent years. In addition, many of the women in this society have membership in one or another of the parish groups. Nuova Aurora Femminile is a religious as well as a social body. The affairs sponsored by it are always successful and the Colony looks forward to their many projects with interest and pleasure. St. Paul’s needs societies such as this one and trusts that it will enjoy many successful years of work toward a better understanding of the things of God in the minds and hearts of our people.
