St. Joseph Novena begins tomorrow

Year after year local families gather to carry on the italian tradition of the Feast of St. Joseph for our children and future generations.   This year’s Novena to St. Joseph begins tomorrow and will last 9 days until the feast day on March 19^th.   Last weekend Sista Felicia and her crew lovingly washed, repaired and presented all the Saints to their Altar in preparation for the Novena.  This year the color Blue was selected because it symbolizes heavenly grace, hope, good health, and the state of servitude. As you all know the Virgin Mary is often depicted wearing blue clothing.  The altar this year is for all Children.  This past year so many families have suffered unimaginable heartbreak and worry for their kids.  The health, safety & wellbeing of our Children is weighing heavily on every parents mind these days.  Prayers to stop the violence surrounding us in society, and prayers for all illnesses, that have struck so many families this past year are needed more than ever.  Together we will petition St. Joseph and the Blessed Mother to keep our children healthy, safe & happy.   St. Joseph, Pray for Us.
