Ethnic Religious Festival:

• St Joseph's Table/Festa di San Giuseppe
  (March 19, 1995)
  I founded, with the help of many others especially Father Sal Ragusa the annual Festa di San Giuseppe or St. Joseph's Table. This Italian American observance honors St. Joseph as the earthly father of Jesus, the patron saint of workers and Brothers. The goal is to continue this cultural tradition and to raise funds to assist organizations assisting families today.
