Blessing of St. Joseph's Table

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.)
