Enzo was a long time communicant of the Church of Our Lady of Mt-Carmel-St Ann, where he was an Icon of the Church. He volunteered countless hours to chair and work the parish Festivals for many years. The feast of Mt Carmel would never have been if it wasn’t for Enzo and his vast experience of running such a large event.

Where he held various offices and was also instrumental with Gina in chairing their annual Carnival, Columbus Day Festival and Parade.
