An Italian Society announcement... Yesterday we lost one of our senior members. Giovanni Fontecchio passed in his sleep, peacefully stepping toward heaven. A service will be at Our Lady of Fatima on Saturday, March 21st. 2026. Visitation 9:30-11:00, mass starts at 11:00am.
This is a sad occasion indeed. Giovanni Fontecchio served as our Minister of Culture for many years and dedicated his knowledge, wisdom, and fellowship to the Gulf Coast Italian American community.
All members, past and present, in good-standing or not, are welcome and urged to attend.
