Italian Americans and Catholics came together in a common cause on March 19: Good food in honor of St. Joseph. The Italian Catholic Federation No. 220 held its annual St. Joseph's Day table at St. Celestine Catholic Church from noon to 2 p.m., and it was as popular as ever.

"We have this event at St. Celestine since this is my parish," said event organizer Josephine Sangermano Townsend. She added that that about 200 St. Celestine parishioners, friends and family attended this St. Joseph's Day table, and that $1,400 was raised in donations.
