14 North Bennett Street in Boston's North End is a famous Italian church called "St. Leonard's" you can see it at this website http://www.catholic-church.org/stleonard/ It fronts Hanover St., where everyone visits the North End for their famous restaurants. I pass this church a lot!

ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
Thanks for stopping by! St. Leonard's is a beautiful church.
The grandfather of our cousin Florindo (at the www.torrelenocelle.com site)made a trip to the States in 1913. He was accompanying a large statue of San Ciriaco that was to be presented to St. Leonards.
Another cousin was able to track down the statue ... which is now being stored in the sacristy, but still at St. Leonard's.
You can read the full story on Florindo's site:
