"The Lancaster Italian Cultural Society was formed to promote and share an appreciation and awareness of the Italian culture and heritage."
We develop an awareness of the contributions of Italians and Italian Americans to the development of the United States of America and the world. In addition, we sponsor artistic and cultural activities of Italian origin in the community. The Lancaster Italian Cultural Society promotes a greater understanding of the social mores and the values of the Italian heritage in the community. In doing so we develop a greater sense of pride in Italian Americans for their Italian heritage with special emphasis upon educating Italian American youth, including but not limited to sponsoring scholarships, awards, and recognition for community service.
