According to Rev. John L. Lavorgna, parish administrator, the carnival brings together friends and neighbors from throughout the region to enjoy the food and festivities that have made the carnival
a highlight of the summer in the greater New Haven area.
“Our Lady of Pompeii Carnival is an opportunity to celebrate our community, especially the friendships and traditions that give us joy,” said Lavorgna. “Our parishioners work so hard each year to make this a great event, and new generations can make their own special memories. All are welcome to join us!”
