Welcome to The Dr. Vincenzo Sellaro Lodge Website
The Dr. Vincenzo Sellaro Lodge is part of the Order Sons and
Daughters of Italy in
America, the oldest and largest fraternal organization of Italian
American men and women on the North American continent.
We've been an active part of the Smithtown community since 1974 and,
with over 150 members, we are continuing our work to promote our
Italian heritage and culture and support the many charitable
endeavors of both the lodge and
the Order.
“Today I have a dream, and hope that
someday, even if it takes one hundred years before we are fully
accepted, our children, and their children’s children, even if they
carry a single drop of Italian blood, will be able and proud to
continue to carry on our traditions, our culture and our language.
It is up to us, and what we do today."
