Church Campus Closed – Columbus Day
October 9, 2023
REMINDER:
The church campus will be closed on Monday,
October 9 in observance of Columbus Day.
In the decades after the mass lynching, Italian American advocates pushed for a nationwide holiday, and states slowly began to adopt it. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt designated it a national holiday, and in 1971 Congress changed the date from October 12 to the second Monday of October.
