St. Thomas the Apostle Church to host St. Joseph Table March 23

Celebrate the feast of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus and patron of God’s family, with a feast of superbly delicious Italian foods that will be served 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 23, in the auditorium of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 1500 Brookdale Road, Naperville.

In keeping with tradition, “The meal will be meatless and totally scrumptious as a foretaste of God’s heavenly banquet,” noted Deacon Joe Cuzzone, chairman of the committee planning the celebration in honor of the saint whose feast day is March 19.

Complementing this pleasurable dining experience will be well-known Chicago musician-recording artist Joe Martino playing selections from his extensive repertoire of popular Italian and American music.

Deacon Cuzzone added that the meal is free but freewill offerings will be gladly and gratefully accepted to benefit the St. Thomas Food Pantry, St. Thomas Cares and the St. Vincent DePaul Society.

The St. Thomas Cares ministry provides food and emergency financial assistance for rent, utilities, and medical expenses to area families in need.

Although walk-ins are welcome, reservations are strongly encouraged in order to facilitate planning for the St. Joseph Table.
