Most Italian communities across North America are immersed in their heritage as we rapidly approach Palm Sunday and Easter during this Lenten season. A big part of experiencing Italian tradition is rooted in the Catholic faith and that is precisely why younger generations should always know “why”  traditions such as La Tavola Di San Giuseppe exist; so that sanctity can endure.

Depending on who is in your sphere of influence both virtually on social media and in your everyday lives, you may have been exposed to the many displays of Catholic tradition from Italian communities. This is especially so if your social media algorithms are anything like ours at Italian Enclaves or if you live near or within an Italian enclave.
