106 years of faith and still counting for Our Lady of Grace parishioner

JOHNSTON — As parishioners tasted the food and enjoyed the camaraderie at Our Lady of Grace Church’s annual Primavera event on Sunday, April 30, Emma Pezza, the day’s honorary grand marshal, sat comfortably at the head of a table surrounded by family and friends. The guest of honor was well-known to her fellow parishioners and looked right at home in the crowded hall, unsurprising given her long history with the parish. Pezza, who recently celebrated her 106th birthday, has attended Our Lady of Grace for more than 85 years. More.
