With a troupe of friends lending a hand, preparations for tomorrow’s Feast of San Giuseppe were full underway today at the Groppo home. All are invited to the table at the welcoming home of Nina and Frank Groppo.
Caffe Siclia’s Maria Cracchiolo creates Saint Joseph altar bread in exquisite nature-inspired shapes and iconic Christian symbols.

These three friends call themselves the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Your guess is as good as mine re who is who.
Celebrating tomorrow with sweet friends ❤ 
Viva San Giuseppe!

forgot to say I live in Louisville, New York near the Canadian border The church I attend is part of St. Peter’s Parish which is opening up St. Joseph’s Church part of the parish for mass to celebrate St. Joseph. It has been closed for the winter as my local church St. Lawrence also closed for the winter. I attend mass at Sacred Heart Church or St. Mary’s also part of St. Peter’s parish, in Massena, new York about 7 miles away in the winter. Have a great finish to your novena to St. Joseph and your celebration.
