On Sunday, a magician was entertaining the delighted kiddies.  Enjoy music by DJ Vin D and bands throughout the festival. Following are photos of the Grotto and surrounding altars.

Did your child make an “Under the Sea” Paper Lantern at the Tottenville Library on Wednesday?  This little girl made a darling paper lantern, decorated it with stickers and was happy to hang out with Curious George afterwards.  Photowalk at Fort Wadsworth on Saturday was an eye opener!  With professional photographer, Ed Coppola, as our guide, we captured photos of all the many angles and views of the Verrazano Bridge and the many edifices—inside and out—of the Fort.  A Gateway Park Service volunteer filled us in on the background of this historic site. All of the fotogs, down to the youngest child had a ball snapping pictures.

On Saturday, I attended the Mass to celebrate the feast day of St. Anthony at the very beautiful St. Anthony of Padua Church in Travis.  Some of my gentle readers were in attendance, and I made some new friends.  The special "St. Anthony's Bread" was distributed during the service and also to the neighbors along the streets.  A band played music through the Travis neighborhood after the celebration as the procession was led by parishioners holding the photo of St. Anthony and others carrying a large statue of St. Anthony draped in dollar bills. The good parishioners hosted a reception thereafter while the band entertained us all.
