Remember when I said some feast days are of high importance in our house. Add St. Joseph's Feast day to the list. We usually attend a party hosted by dear friends of ours. This year, though, our dear friend is due to have a baby ANY SECOND (she could be in labor as I type this, actually), and therefore, the celebration was hosted and put on by our parish. It was BEAUTIFUL! We started with Mass, altogether. Then, there was a potluck luncheon with a blessing, the Litany of St. Joseph, a Novena, and lots of fellowship. I'd say there were about 100 people there. I was sad that, due to a stomach bug I had suffered a few days ago, I only stayed for Mass. I didnt get a chance to snap any picture before I left, but I heard it was a superb event! I am hoping it happens every year for sure!

Since I could not stay for the festivities, I came home and made some homemade Zeppole. It is a very traditional Italian donuts. Who doesnt like fried dough covered in powdered sugar? The kids were so excited! It was such a nice break in the long Lenten season!
This saint is so special to me family. Mike's middle name is Joseph. St. Joseph is the patron saint of the Universal church, and of the family. We pray for his intercession every night during our family Rosary. You can learn and read more about this humble, holy man here. Happy Feast of St. Joseph to all!
