The St. Joseph Altar is an event at our parish to gather decorative baked goods to honor Saint Joseph. A free will spaghetti luncheon is held with proceeds benefitting the poor. All are invited to take part in the traditional St. Joseph Altar at Christ the King on Friday, March 19, 2021. It is a Catholic custom to bake breads, cakes, pastries, and cookies and offer them along with fruits in honor of St. Joseph. These foods are arrayed before the statue of St. Joseph to inspire the faithful. Bakers often fashion their baked goods with Christian artistry, making them in the shapes of crosses, carpenter’s tools, lambs, lilies, flowers, and other creative Christian symbols.
After a special Mass, a simple ceremony in which any children present and who are dressed as Saints take part. A free-will offering spaghetti luncheon is held for the entire community; all donations to the luncheon assist the Christ the King St. Vincent de Paul Society’s care of the poor.
