When immigrants from Lentini, Sicily settled in North Omaha in the 1920s, they brought with them great love and devotion to Saints Alfio, Filadelfo, and Cirino. They quickly established a Confraternity, or religious society, in honor of the Three Holy Martyrs on May 10, 1929 to preserve and promote the story of their hometown saints in their new county. The Confraternity subsequently acquired a hall at 17th and Clark Streets and commissioned an exact replica of Lentini’s processional statue of Saint Alfio. The Confraternity, along with its adjacent women’s, boys, and girls clubs were active in hosting and supporting social, charitable, and religious functions throughout the city’s Italian community. From 1930 until 1965, the Confraternity celebrated an annual festival in honor of Saint Alfio in the neighborhood surrounding Holy Family Church. Sometimes lasting up to 8 days, this festival combined carnivals, food, and music with religious processions, Mass, and Benediction. Over the years, the Italian population of the neighborhood declined, causing membership in the Confraternity to fade. A special Mass for the 50th Anniversary of the Confraternity was celebrated in June of 1979. Today, Saint Alfio’s statue and the Confraternity’s processional banner reside in a niche at Saint Frances Cabrini Church. Now, a new generation of Catholics in Omaha are beginning to rediscover the story of Saint Alfio as they ask his intercession in prayer and connect with his devotees in Lentini and throughout the world.
