Saint Joseph in St. Joseph

We live in St. Joseph, Missouri, so we always get excited about the Feast of Saint Joseph on March 19.  Plus that is Winger's middle name, as he was born here.  Our tradition is to attend the local St. Joseph's table (a feast of breads and cakes with proceeds going to the poor), and we usually make some braided bread creations at home.  Tonight we travelled to another St. Joseph's Table at a small country parish in Kansas.  When Captain was growing up, he attended "St. Joseph of the Valley" parish.  We are going there for mass and a spaghetti supper with our friends, the Schiebers.  The new pastor is a college mate of Alison's and everybody loves Fr. Richard.  Captain made the rounds talking to old school mates and their mothers all evening.  How nice that our boys could see where their dad was a server, made his First Communion, and was Confirmed.
