The Geraci Citizens League’s St. Joseph’s Day Gala is on March 15.
64 February 2014 • Clifton Merchant
The Feast Day of St. Joseph—the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary—is on March 19. In Sicily, where St. Joseph is a Patron, and here in many Italian-American communities, thanks are given on that day to St. Joseph—San Giuseppe—for preventing a famine in Sicily during the Middle Ages. Keeping that tradition alive, the 84th Geraci Citizens League St. Joseph’s Dinner Dance is on March 15 at The Brownstone at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $90. Coordinated by Nina Corradino, those who attend will enjoy traditional pasta dishes, finocchi and zeppoli, dancing and music. For tickets, call Corradino at 973-278-0356 or 973-470-8982.
