Joe Virgilio Makes Saint Joseph Rolls is a wonderful addition to Gloucester’s Feast of Saint Joseph Community Film Project. So many thanks to Joe for taking time from his busy work day to allow filming! Highlights include Joe sharing stories about the early days working alongside his grandfather and cousins, when the thousands of rolls needed for Saint Joseph’s Day were made by hand.

I worked a bakery for about 6 months out west got up in bed around 9-10pm hard to change sleep c at 3am stated to work about 4:30am and got off work about 2pm only one day off and that was a Sunday bakery closed so Mon-Saturday. He was closing shop and moving to another location in another city so left.
Saturday night was the party night and do not try any other’s the heat and humidity would kill you if you did – summer was the toughest months out west when it’s in 90’s to over 100 outside, and winter was the easiest months 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂
