The Feast of the Three Saints is held every year in Silkwood, Australia.  The Feast brings people together, in celebration, from all over North Queensland and beyond, occurring on the first Sunday in May.

In the Year 2000 we celebrated, in Italian and English, our 50th Anniversary and, to mark the occasion, a 50th Anniversary Book was produced, which can be purchased online.  Through the years a number of photographs have been collected and these are displayed in the Previous Years' Photo Gallery .

On Sunday, 2nd May, 2010 the Saints will celebrate 60 years in Australia.  Plans are well underway for the Three Saints Committee Dinner, which is traditionally held on the Friday evening of the Anniversary weekend.  Sunday will see Mass celebrated with the Bishop, the Solemn Procession through Silkwood and Mass with the Scalabrinian Father, followed by the Blessing and Veneration of the relics of the Three Saints.  Details of the attending Celebrants are yet to be confirmed but the event promises to be a major highlight for the district.

Other festivities include a barbecue, with traditional Italian food, stalls and entertainment and, of course, 7.00 p.m. will herald the lighting of the night skies with a brilliant fireworks display.  Everyone is welcome to attend

The History of the Three Saints, St Alfio, St Filadelfo and St Cerino, in Silkwood began in 1950, when they were brought from Italy to Silkwood by Rosario Tornabene.  For the complete history visit our History of the Saints section.
