The 47th Annual St. Joseph’s Table brought a two-day, meatless feast in honor of St. Joseph at Mt. Carmel Church. Featuring a traditional altar decorated with bread (lovingly baked by Vinnola’s!), homemade cookies for sale, and overall good vibes, everyone was glad to see the tradition still going strong! Started officially in 1977 by Mary Rotola in her North Denver home, she moved it to Mt. Carmel Church the next year. Mary Rotola prayed for St. Joseph to help her son become a priest and in return, she would honor St. Joseph somehow. The rest is history.
