We are a group of friends born in Sicily or from Sicilian ancestry who reside in Texas. We founded the Sicilian American Association in Texas to promote initiatives serving the community, to perform charitable work, and to share our Sicilian heritage through cultural and social events, and exchanges between the United States, Texas, Italy and Sicily. We wish to foster goodwill toward Italy and Sicily in Dallas, Texas and the USA, as well as to explore and preserve our Italian and Sicilian tradition, culture, and language.​​
