An old-world tradition that has taken over the streets around Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church for a half a century returned to San Pedro once more this weekend — and celebrated its golden jubilee.

Shouts of “Viva San Giuseppe!” rang out again, as they always do, when parishioners and others joined to celebrate St. Joseph’s Day, honoring the church’s universal saint, on Sunday, March 19. The commemoration, organized by Mary Star’s Joseph’s Society, combines a Mass and a meatless “poor man’s” meal in the church auditorium.
