Click on the picture for Joey’s slide show which brings us through the first 5 houses on  Sefatia’s list of 11 Gloucester St Joseph Novenas.  I wish I could have gone to all 11 houses but I wanted the girls to have a good memory of it and as the night wore on I didn’t want to push them too far past their normal 6:30PM bedtime.  Look for Manny’s slide show which will have many more of the houses and a ton of pictures of the people who attended the novenas. 

I’d like to extend a special thanks to the Fontana, Scola, Russo,Ferrante and Orlando families for opening their houses and continuing this beautiful tradition.  I’d also like to thank Sefatia for being a fantastic guide and teacher along the route.  She reminded me of many things I’d long forgotten about the traditions and  taught me a whole lot more.

Click the picture for my slide show and don’t forget to look for Manny’s slide show which will have many of the faces from the crowd. Also I will post a video each day over the next 5 days from each of the 5 novenas in the order in which we visited them on Sefatia’s list.
