Collection for St Joseph's Table
|
|
Dear Families of GA;
During the Middle Ages in Sicily, there was an exceptionally severe drought. No rain fell for an extended period of time, no crops would grow, and countless people died in the ensuing famine. The peasants prayed to God for rain, and they also prayed to St. Joseph to intercede with God on their behalf. They promised that if God caused it to rain, they would have a special feast honoring God and St. Joseph and share the bounty with the poor.
Miraculously, the rains came and the crops were planted. With the harvest, the people prepared a feast of foods from their crops. All were invited to share in the bounty. This has become known as the
Tavola di San Giuseppe (St. Joseph’s Table).
Through the centuries, and around the world, people have used this festive table to express their thanks for favors granted through the intercession of St. Joseph.
In honor of St. Joseph, whose feast day is
March 19
th
, we asked the St. Vincent de Paul Society what they needed to help our neighbors today. The items most needed are listed below by grade level.
(None of these necessary items may be purchased with Food Assistance Cards.)
We invite you to offer a family prayer to St. Joseph, and as a sign of gratitude for our blessings, provide an item(s) for those who count on our generosity. You may bring your offering to school and place it on our St. Joseph’s Table, located in the copier hallway by the Religious Ed. office from
Monday, March 18th through Friday, March 22nd.
Thank you,
The Sixth Grade
