Parishioners at Our Lady of Snows in Floral Park celebrate the feast of St. Alphonsa, the first woman of Indian origin to be canonized, with a special Mass and outdoor procession on July 19.
The annual observance drew hundreds of worshippers from the parish’s large Indian Catholic community, and included ceremonial umbrellas, the distribution of blessed bread, and a statue and relic of the saint.
