St. Alphonsus Celebrates the Feast of St. Joseph
The Feast of St. Joseph was celebrated Sunday at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. The tradition started many years ago in Sicily, Italy where a great famine took over all the land. They promised that if, through the intercession of St. Joseph, God sent them rain they would erect an altar in honor of St. Joseph in thanksgiving. Today many St. Joseph's Altars are still built in thanksgiving for favors granted. Portraying Joseph was Jonathan Frank, son of Eric and Alice Frank. Mary was portrayed by Alice Way, Daughter of Brad and Melanie Way, and Jesus by Jeffery Alexander son of Jason and Donna Alexander.
