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

This year's Tavola di San Giuseppe
After Mass, members and friends of the Fratelli della Santa Fede (aka Sanfedisti) gathered at Amunì Ristorante (7217 3rd Avenue) in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn Sunday afternoon to celebrate our Third Annual Tavola di San Giuseppe.

Heartfelt thanks to our dear friends from the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George, the Hapsburg Restoration Movement, San Rocco Society of Potenza in NYC, the Italian Enclaves Historical Society, Brooklyn Latin Mass Society, the Italian Mass Project, the Brooklyn Latin Mass Society, 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 cornucopia of traditional Sicilian fare. His warmth and hospitality are second to none.

We are especially grateful to Fr. Leo Camurati for joining us on this joyous occasion and blessing our table and bread. We are truly blessed to have him as a friend and spiritual father.

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!
