Know Him - Go to Joseph - March 19th 2:00 and 6:00 PM
The KNOW HIM: Go to Joseph! invites participants to form a relationship with Jesus through the protection and guidance of his foster father, St. Joseph, Protector of the Eucharist, and Patron of the Universal Church. Chef Rizzi DeFabo, of Rizzo’s Malabar Inn in Crabtree, will give a presentation on the St. Joseph Altar. Chef DeFabo will share this family treasure with the faithful, along with tasty treats for St. Joseph Day.
Those attending will also learn about the importance of creating a space in the home for a family altar and have the opportunity to create the items needed for that home altar. The event will also include a unique and immersive Eucharistic Adoration experience, allowing attendees to travel to Nazareth and imagine they are in the Holy Family’s living space, plus a presentation on St. Joseph as depicted in art.
