Today the Church celebrates the solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We recognize him as protector and guardian of Jesus.
It is a tradition, on this day, to celebrate the “The Blessing of Saint Joseph’s Table.” We bring pastries and baked goods to the 8:00 morning Mass, but we do not eat them. They are blessed and distributed to the poor. (Hint: Please pack your donations in disposable containers.)
