Donations for parish collected at
Saint Joseph Table & Feast
|
|
|
|
For a week in March, Saint Leo's Church continued the tradition of the Saint Joseph Table, a special altar featuring traditional cookies, cakes, bread baked in symbolic Christian symbols, assorted confections, fruit, wine, and figurines. The table, along with a March 16 accompanying feast serving approximately 65, collected over $1,400 in donations to benefit the parish.
Gift cards and products were donated by
Isabella's, Amiccis, Chipparelli's, Amedeo's, Joe Benny's, Vaccaro’s,
and
Trinacria.
Materials for the dinner and altar were donated by the Saint Joseph’s Table committee and some neighborhood residents baked delicious cookies, breads and
sfingi
.
A special
grazie
to
Joe Tusa
and his family who brought this wonderful tradition to Saint Leo’s!
