As the world begins to come alive again, April is a great time to consider the things in your life you’d like to change and the things for which you can be grateful. You’ll find the good almost always outweighs the bad.

The Fish Fry and Fellowship held on March 25 was a great success. John’s Catering provided the catfish and fixings, and members brought delicious appetizers, side dishes and desserts. The weather was perfect, and live music added an extra special touch with the chance to put on our dancing shoes. We are already looking forward to planning another one, hopefully sooner than later.

Founded in 1982

The Sons of Italy Heritage Club was founded in 1982 by a group of citizens of Italian heritage, whose grandparents were members of the Italia Moderna Society, a benevolent society of Italian (mostly Sicilian) immigrants that dates back to 1906.

Charitable

We are a 501C3 organization of men and women, dedicated to promoting and preserving our Italian heritage and its culture, traditions, language, and the legacy of our ancestors. We are sons and daughters, grandmothers and grandfathers. We are corporate executives and we are homemakers.…teachers and attorneys….. bakers and stock market brokers …students and retirees…doctors and firefighters.…and everything in between. We are committed to our community and serving others.  Since our formation almost 40 years ago, our contributors have given generously and put in countless work hours dedicated to the betterment of our community and the benefit of others in need.

You Are Benvenuto

Women have always shared equal rights with men in the Sons of Italy Heritage Club of Shreveport-Bossier City.  Consideration for membership is open to any gender, age, religion and profession. You don’t even have to be Italian to join!  Many of our most faithful members are not of Italian heritage, but proudly wear our name.  Whether you are of Italian heritage or simply have a love for things Italian and want to make a difference in your community, you are welcome.
