The year 2025 marks the Groppo Family’s 30 year tradition of hosting the nine day novena and Saint Joseph Feast Day.
People from all walks of life are invited to the Feast of Saint Joseph at the Groppo’s welcoming home. There was a steady stream of hungry celebrants throughout the day and evening. Tables were laden with wonderfully delicious dishes, featuring both Sicilian cuisine and Gloucester seafood. Thank you to Nina, Franco, Maria, Enza, and this wonderful community of family and friends for sharing the very special tradition of the Feast of St. Joseph.
The Groppo home was bursting with pasta-makers preparing for the Feast of Saint Joseph, which is celebrated every year on March 19th. I am so sorry I missed the first part of the morning when the house was twice as full, but happy to post these photos from the tail-end of the exuberant fun. So much love and joy shared in this beautiful community of family and friends <3 <3 <3 Viva SanGiuseppe!
