Talk of the Times: St. Joseph Novena moving from Legion to Facebook

“With great sadness, Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan announced that the public St. Joseph’s Novena and re-enactment scheduled for March 19 at the Capt. Lester S. Wass Post 3 of the American Legion has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns that are now sweeping through Cape Ann.
