ITALIAN FESTIVAL 2026
JOURNEY MASS FOR MIGRANTS
A Celebration of Faith, Community, Culture and Belonging
Saturday, 14 November 2026 – Time 3.00pm
St Francis Xavier Cathedral
39 Wakefield Street, Adelaide City

COME AND JOIN THE OZITALIAN COMMUNITY CHOIR:
The Ozitalian Community Choir warmly invites you to join us for this year’s Italian Festival Journey Mass for Migrants — a very special occasion bringing together people from many cultures and communities across South Australia.
Under the direction of our Musical Director, Mario Bellanova, the Ozitalian Community Choir will provide the music for this special celebration, featuring our talented pianist, Daniel Chieng, and tenor, Francesco Chiarello and 42 choristers.
A CELEBRATION FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY:
The Journey Mass for Migrants is much more than a Mass. It is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the migrant journey — the courage, hope, sacrifice and determination of those who have left their homeland to build a new life in Australia. Migration is part of the story of so many Australian families. It is through the experiences of generations of migrants that our communities have been enriched by different cultures, traditions, languages, faiths and stories.
This special celebration reminds us that, although our backgrounds may be different, we share many of the same hopes for our families, our communities and our future.
AN INVITATION TO ALL:
We warmly invite all Italian Associations, Clubs and organisations to come together and support this important occasion.
Most importantly, we extend our invitation to the entire multicultural community of South Australia.
You do not need to be Italian to attend. This is a celebration for everyone — Italian, Australian and people from every cultural background who make our community the vibrant and diverse place that it is today.
Come with your family. Come with your friends. Come with your community.
LET US COME TOGETHER:
Let us gather as one community to honour the migrant journey, remember those who came before us, welcome those who are making their journey today, and celebrate the contribution that every culture makes to our shared Australian story. Through music, faith and community, we can celebrate what unites us while recognising and respecting the cultures and traditions that make us unique. We encourage Italian Associations, Clubs, multicultural organisations, families and members of the general public to support this special event and join us at St Francis Xavier Cathedral.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU ALL

The OZITALIAN Community CHOIR was privileged to have performed at the Northern Eastern Community Hospital (NECH)- Campbelltown on Saturday afternoon the 11th July the "Songs of Italy" to the "Alps to the Islands". From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. It was a joy to perform for the residents, their families, and the dedicated staff, sharing the rich musical traditions of Italy through songs that brought back treasured memories and inspired everyone to join in.

One of the most rewarding parts of the afternoon was seeing the smiles on the residents' faces as they sang along, clapped to the rhythm, and connected with the music. Watching familiar melodies spark memories and create moments of happiness reminded us why we love sharing our music with the community. The warmth, enthusiasm, and appreciation we received made every song even more meaningful.

For the members of the Ozitalian Community Choir, performances like this are about far more than entertainment. They are an opportunity to celebrate our Italian heritage, preserve the beautiful traditions and songs of our culture, and most importantly, bring comfort, joy, and companionship through music. Seeing our audience engage so wholeheartedly filled us with gratitude and reminded us of the special bond that music creates across generations.

A heartfelt thank you to Tina Luce (Life-Style Cordinator) for your kind invitation, your generous hospitality, and the delicious afternoon tea you so thoughtfully provided for us. Your warmth and care made the day even more special and deeply appreciated by every choir member.

We left with full hearts, wonderful memories, and a genuine sense that we had shared something meaningful together. We are absolutely delighted to have been invited back to perform again next year and already look forward to returning to sing, celebrate, and create more special moments with everyone at the North Eastern Community Nursing Home.

Thank you once again for allowing the Ozitalian Community Choir to be part of such a memorable afternoon.
Until next year!

The OzItalian Community Choir are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and chorister, Giuseppe Musolino.
Giuseppe was a true gentleman whose kindness, humility, and warm spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. For over 30 years, he was a valued member of the Italian Choral and Arts Society, sharing his love of music, friendship, and community. He was also a cherished member of the OzItalian Community Choir from its very beginning, where his dedication, support and gentle presence will always be remembered.
Giuseppe's contribution to our choir went far beyond his voice. He enriched our community with his generosity, respect, and quiet strength. His absence will be deeply felt by all of us.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Giuseppe's family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the many wonderful memories they shared with him.
Riposa in pace, caro Giuseppe.
Your song will remain forever in our hearts. All the members of the Ozitalian Community Choir

Congratulations to ECU researcher Professor Simone Marino on your outstanding work exploring how music helps Italian migrants living with dementia in Perth reconnect with their memories, culture, language, and identity. 🎶🇮🇹
Your research beautifully demonstrates that music is far more than entertainment—it is a bridge to the past, a source of comfort, and a powerful way to foster connection, wellbeing, and belonging. Through community singing and shared cultural experiences, you are helping participants and their families experience moments of joy and recognition that conventional care often cannot provide.
Thank you for your dedication to improving the lives of older Italian Australians and for highlighting the profound role that music can play in dementia care. This is meaningful research with a lasting impact on our community.
Bravissimo and congratulations on the well-deserved recognition! 👏🌟❤️ See less

On Saturday 11th July, the Ozitalian Community Choir will once again have the privilege of performing "Songs of Italy – From the Alps to the Islands" for the residents, staff, and families at the North Eastern Community Hospital (NECH).

A heartfelt thank you to Tina Luce, Lifestyle Coordinator, for her kind invitation and continued support. We are truly honoured to have been asked to return this year and deeply appreciate the opportunity to share our music with such a wonderful community.

Performing at NECH is always a very special experience for our choir. Music has a unique way of bringing people together, creating moments of joy, connection, and shared memories. Over the years, we have felt a genuine warmth and connection with the residents, many of whom respond so enthusiastically to the familiar melodies and cherished songs of Italy. Seeing smiles, hearing residents sing along, and witnessing the happiness that music brings is both moving and rewarding for all our choristers.

The Ozitalian Community Choir values these opportunities to contribute to the wellbeing and enjoyment of the residents and to connect with their families and the dedicated staff who care for them. We look forward to another memorable afternoon of music, friendship, and celebration of our Italian heritage.

Thank you once again, Tina, for welcoming us back. The choristers are eagerly looking forward to sharing this special occasion with everyone at NECH.
