St. Joseph's Table

This year St. Michael will have the St. Joseph Table the weekend of March 16-17, 2019 in the narthex of the church.  Come stop by to see and buy all the wonderful traditional Italian goodies.



History of St. Joseph's Day - (March 19)
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. 

Proceeds from the St. Joseph's Table go to support Catholic Charities Food Pantry.

We can use help with baking cookies, sorting the cookies, decorating the table, help after Masses during the weekend of March 16-17, and a little help to clean up after Sunday 5:00 pm Mass.
