Celebrating the Second Annual Tavola di San Giuseppe in Brooklyn, New York

La Tavola di San Giuseppe

After Mass, members and friends of the Fratelli della Santa Fede (Brothers of the Holy Faith) gathered at Amunì Ristorante (7217 3rd Avenue) in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn Sunday afternoon to celebrate the Second Annual Tavola di San Giuseppe. Chef Vincent Dardanello once again outdid himself and treated us to another delicious cornucopia of traditional Sicilian fare.

Partygoers received blessed medals, fava beans, and rolls from St. Rocco’s Bakery in Glen Cove, New York. The Very Rev’d Dom Daniel Nash, Can. Reg., Pastor at St. Rocco’s Church, kindly blessed the gifts after Mass. 

Heartfelt thanks to our friends at the San Rocco Society of Potenza in New York City, the Italian Enclaves Historical Society, the Brooklyn Latin Mass Society, the Italian Mass Project, the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George, the Calandra Institute, and the Emperor Karl League of Prayer for joining us. 

Special thanks to Ernesto Rossi at E. Rossi & Co. for generously donating this year’s awesome raffle prizes, festive beads, and St. Joseph prayer cards. 

As always, it was a great joy to celebrate our faith and culture together. Evviva San Giuseppe!
