Mark your calendars and come celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph Sunday, March 19, 2017 at St. Ambrose Church. It is not often that this annual event for the parish falls on the actual feast day of St. Joseph. That makes this year’s celebration that much more special. “There may be some minor changes, but the feast will continue the same traditions of setting up the altar and the many special food items prepared just for this feast,” said Rosemary Parentin, a member of the St. Joseph Altar Committee.

This year’s committee chairpersons are Toni Pagano and Louisa Cottone. The Committee has been meeting and preparations are underway. There will be a mass in honor of St. Joseph at 11:00 a.m. and then a procession leading to the St. Ambrose School Cafeteria. The altar will be set up in traditional form, filled with St. Joseph bread, sweets and treats. There will be a blessing of the altar by Monsignor Bommarito.
