Our Lady of Angels “Biggest-Little Feast,” had a huge turnout this weekend. Saturday, night one, had a crowd of more than 1500, with many of them packing the dance floor. Many veteran feasters said they could not remember a Saturday being that packed.
Photographer Glenn C. Silva was out and about on all three days. If you saw him, there’s a good chance he took a picture of you and posted it in his gallery.
