St. Joseph's Table

In his second book, Michael describes and illustrates his family's tradition of planning, preparing, and displaying food on a homebuilt altar (table) in honor of St. Joseph, the patron saint of the sick and wounded members of the community of Blende, Colorado. Blende is a melting pot of cultures and traditions, where neighbors still support each other when life's trials are knocking on their hearts' doors. St. Joseph is regarded as the chief intercessor for prayers on behalf of the community of believers seeking healing and prosperity. This St. Joseph's table tradition is a guide for families who desire to honor this celebration. The book includes step-by-step illustrations and instruction to get started. A realistic time line and grocery list accompany many photos of completed tables presented by families for generations. Included are templates and recipes, which provide the necessary components for planning your own St. Joseph's Day celebration.
