It’s known as Little Italy, and will soon be hosting a night to remember. In this historic parish, one can still feel the vibrations of a heritage brought by immigrants who settled around Mulberry Street. Come August 17, and the Shrine of the Most Precious Blood located here will fill up with renewed hope with the help of a musical concert, including songs in Italian, to honor the rich history of the church.

The concert at the Shrine of the Most Precious Blood will be conducted by the music faculty of Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Part of its faculty outreach program, the concert will raise the much needed funds for the parish initiatives to revitalize and preserve the remaining heritage of Little Italy.
