History 
Many years ago during a famine in Sicily, food was scarce and many people were starving, the poor people had only their faith.  St. Joseph was known as the protector of the Holy Family; thus, Italians with strong family relationships prayed for St. Joseph to intercede for them in an effort to ensure successful crops. Their prayers were answered, and the famine came to an end.  In gratitude, people promised to make annual offerings of their most precious possession, food, in St. Joseph's honor. 

We continue the tradition by giving food and alms to the poor of our community. Stop by the St. Joesph Table to purchase a cookie or item and/or make a charitable donation. All proceeds from the table will go to the Catholic Charities Food Pantry.
