The Italian Festival draws to a close today with worship services at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, 901 N. Du Pont St. in Wilmington, at 7 a.m., 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., with an Italian Mass at 12:30 p.m.
Then at 2 p.m., the annual Procession of Saints will parade north on Du Pont street past the church and wind through the Little Italy neighborhood. Local families walk with statues and hand out prayer cards to those who make a contribution of at least $1 to the festival. The festival will open at 2 p.m. and close at 9 p.m.
