This Wednesday, March 19th, we celebrate our Patronal Feast Day—the Solemnity of St. Joseph, protector of the family and patron of the universal Church. In honor of our Patron, we will have a St. Joseph’s Table, a particular custom that originated on the island of Sicily. What goes on the St. Joseph Table?
Fancy Italian pastries
Lilies
Roses
Candles
Fruit
Fava beans
Breads in the shape of St. Joseph symbols (such as tools, sawdust, etc.)
