COMPLETE! --------he Appian Club recently celebrated St. Joseph Feast in time-honored tradition with the help of Reading resident Connie Magro. Her mother started the tradition about 75 years ago. According to legend, during the Middle Ages, Sicily was aff ected by a terrible drought and famine. Many people died of starvation and Sicilians started praying and begging to St. Joseph, promising him to celebrate his day with the “St. Joseph’s table,” an altar with special foods, fl owers and devotional objects, as their thanksgiving for his great miracle. And thus, the tradition was started in the province of Palermo, Sicily. Leaving her mother behind, Connie migrated to the United States in 1972. Without any guidance as to how to proceed, Connie prayed with deep devotion and homage to St. Joseph for assistance to honor his legacy. The picture does not do justice as to the works of art she has performed. Upon the altar YOUR LOCAL NEWS & SPORTS IN SIX LANGUAGES.

Starting in early February, Connie would start from scratch baking and then freezing her beloved fi gures until just before she set up her altar arrangements. And so, on March 15, the Ladies of the Appian Club, with the help of the Appian Men, before a full house, prepared a delicious meal and topped it off with some zeppole and danced to the music of a DJ. The bread was auctioned off to the attending members, and the monies were donated to various local charities. The Appian Club of Stoneham, which was established in 1985, is dedicated to promoting and cultivating Italian culture.
