In celebration of St. Joseph’s Day, the Fr. Horace B. McKenna Council of the Knights of Columbus is sponsoring its 6th annual St. Joseph Altar. St. Joseph is the patron saint of immigrants, workers, unborn children, refugees, fathers, and craftspeople, among others. According to tradition, the practice of creating large food altars, or St. Joseph’s Tables, dates to the Middle Ages, when there was a severe drought and famine in Sicily. The peasants prayed to St. Joseph, and when the rains arrived, they organized a celebration in his honor.
As we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph let’s help feed our neighbors in need by bringing non-perishable food items to donate to the 2026 Lenten Food Drive.
Simply fill a bag with food from the category paired with the first letter of your last name and bring it to the Lenten Food Drive event, March 14 – 19 before or after Masses. See Flyer for details.
