Happy Feast of St. Joseph!

Prayer to St. Joseph

O, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

O, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

Congratulations HE Cav. John M. Viola on receiving the F.A.C.U.S.A. “Lifetime Achievement Award”

Congratulations to our esteemed Delegate HE Cav. John M. Viola on receiving the coveted Federazione delle Associazioni della Campania USA “Lifetime Achievement Award” Sunday evening at Leonard's Palazzo (555 Great Neck) in Long Island, New York. Though unquestionably deserved, our community can’t afford to have John retire and rest on his laurels just yet; he has plenty more to achieve before he hangs up his boots. IHSV

Distributing Food to the Homeless on the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas

Thank you to this month's volunteers.

Thursday, March 7th, members of the Constantinian Auxiliary prepared and distributed food to the homeless in Chinatown and Two Bridges, New York on the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas. Meeting at the Church of the Transfiguration (29 Mott St.), volunteers braved the frigid weather and prepared 20 care packages replete with winter accessories, toiletries and ready to eat food, including containers of freshly cooked penne marinara generously donated by our dear friends at Caffé Napoli (191 Hestor Street) in Little Italy.

Anna and Konstantinos.

Once again, we want to thank Antonio, Anna and Konstantinos Mavrianos-Cesare for their hard work and dedication. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you Louis Fontana of Caffé Napoli; Raymond Guarini of the Italian Enclaves Historical Society; Andrew Giordano of the St. Rocco Society; Robert Michael Surella of the East Harlem Giglio Society; Olya Brandon; and Cav. John Napoli for your continued assistance. Your heartfelt generosity and selflessness is greatly appreciated. And as always, special thanks to Pastor Lo for your support and blessings. It is an honor to serve with such an outstanding group of people. God Bless you all. IHSV

The next walk will be on Thursday, April 4th—the Feast of San Benedetto da San Fratello—at 7:00 PM. In addition to ready to eat foodstuff and daily necessities, we’re are asking volunteers to donate hats and scarves for the cold weather. Anyone interested in supporting this charitable endeavor can contact Cav. John Napoli at jnapoli@smocsg.org or Anna Mavrianos-Cesare at MsAnnaNY@aol.com.

Once again, our friends at Caffé Napoli donated a heaping tray of penne marinara.

Everybody pitched in.

Konstantinos and Olya. 

Bobby.
