Thank you Raymond Guarini from Italian Enclaves for sharing your wonderful pictures of the Santa Croce Camerina Society’s 102nd Annual Tavola di San Giuseppe, celebrated on Laetare Sunday at St. Gerard Church (437 West Broadway) in Paterson, New Jersey. It looked like a terrific day, Evviva San Giuseppe!
We encourage our readers to visit Italian Enclaves, a photo catalogue of Italian enclaves in the 21st Century, their sister site Organic Roots, and especially their Twitter and Facebook pages, which are updated daily with information about Italian American history, folklore, and religious and cultural traditions.
