C.Colombo Lodge #1315

March is the time to honor St. Joseph, the patron of the universal Church and spouse of Mary, the Holy Mother of Jesus. St Joseph is the guardian of fathers and the family. His feast day, March 19, is marked as Father’s Day in Italy. It was the focus at a recent meeting of C. Colombo Lodge. A St. Joseph’s altar was designed by Lodge President Roseanne DiMaggio Ortland and created by Dennis Clarke, master wood worker. Members shared so many goodies, that a secondary table was set up to provide space for all the cookies, cakes and fruit!

Two new members were initiated into C. Colombo Lodge in March. The ceremony was led by State Vice President Louie Lodi and State Deputy Londi Madera.

Hats of to Cathy Nelson and Zelda LeFrak-Belleci for sponsoring our two new members of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in America.
