On December 14th, the Representative of Alexandria and Asti organized as usual the Christmas mass and the convivial charity dinner. This year the event was held at the abbey of “Santa Giustina” in Sezzadio (AL). The mass was celebrated by Father Augusto Piccoli, Chaplain, and concelebrated by the parish priest Father Gioia Eugenio and Father Giampaolo Civillini. A large group of Canadians of Chinese origin, who had been hosted in the residence, participated in this celebration and learned many things about the territory and the gastronomy of the region. It was also a good opportunity to make a collection of foodstuffs which will be distributed to the most needy families. The convivial dinner at the restaurant “La Cicala” in Castelnuovo Bormida ended this beautiful convivial evening.
