The St. Coleman's Catholic Church Italian Festival began in 1984 with a spaghetti dinner to raise money to convert the original church into a parish hall. The event has become a major fund-raiser for the church and elementary school.

St. Coleman Catholic Church is at 1200 S. Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, FL 33062.
