Summary: Ray DiFiore tells of the St. Alfio Society and the Feast of the Three Saints, which is held annually during the Labor Day weekend. The background of the Feast comes from Sicily, where many from Lawrence have attended (including the narrator). He tells of the similarities between the two Feasts. The St. Alfio Society began here as a benefit society, and today it gives the money it collects to charities.
