The Procession of San Pio is an annual “thing” here in Astoria, conducted by the parishioners of Saint Joseph’s RC Church over on 30th avenue. Whenever possible, I try to get over to the event and record it in some way. They usually have bands and a fair in the parochial school parking lot as well.

As mentioned last week, I’m taking a bit of a break and there will be single shots from my archives offered all week at this, your Newtown Pentacle.
