St. Joseph's Altar

Part of the St. Joseph Day devotions will be a St. Joseph Altar to be placed in the parish hall.

The St. Joseph's Altar is an Italian tradition for the purpose of giving thanks, providing food for the poor, and spreading devotion to the friendship of St. Joseph. Traditionally, people offer fruit, handmade breads, and meatless dishes. They often place prayer requests and notes of thanks on the altar. Sometimes loved ones are remembered as well. Please join us in starting this tradition in metro Detroit.

If you would like to help create this altar by bringing baked goods, flowers or canned foods, or if you would like more information, please call the Parish Office at (313) 831-6659.
