Every year the Planning Committee of the Mussomelese Society accords special recognition to certain members. The choices are based on faithful membership and particular dedication to its purpose, “to carry on the tradition of our ancestors in honoring Mary, the Mother of God, under the title of Our Lady of Miracles, Patroness of Mussomeli.” The honorees are acknowledged at the annual festive luncheon following the Mass.
