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

This year's Tavola di San Giuseppe

After Mass, some thirty devotees gathered at Amunì Ristorante (7217 3rd Avenue) in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Sunday afternoon to celebrate our Fourth Annual Sanfedisti Tavola di San Giuseppe.

San Giuseppe, ora pro nobis

Heartfelt thanks to our dear friends from the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George, the Roman Forum, the Hapsburg Restoration Movement, San Rocco Society of Potenza in NYC, the Italian Enclaves Historical Society, the Brooklyn Latin Mass Society, the Italian Mass Project, and the Holy Name Society of the Shrine Church of St. Bernadette for joining us in the festivities.

Special thanks to Chef Vincent Dardanello, who treated us to another delicious Sicilian repast. His warmth and hospitality are second to none. We are especially grateful to Fr. Basil for joining us on this joyous occasion and blessing our table and bread. As always, celebrating our faith and culture together was a great honor and pleasure. We are looking forward to doing it again next year. Evviva San Giuseppe!
