St. Joseph's Table

History of St. Joseph's Day - (Feast 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. 

Check back each year for the weekend our St. Joseph Table will be in the Narthex.

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