St Joseph's Day is still celebrated in and around New Orleans but probably not as much as it was when I was a kid. If you've never seen a St Joseph's Day Altar, there are pictures of them in the link. They are loaded with goodies although I never acquired the taste for the Italian cookies. St Joseph is all around New Orleans and Louisiana. There's a church on Tulane in New Orleans. I used to park in their lot for Saints games many years ago but I've never been inside. It's in an area where it must have sustained damage from Katrina but I haven't heard how much. There's a town of St Joseph. I've never been there. There's a St Joseph Abbey in St Benedict, LA. Never been to St Benedict, either. There's also a St Joe Brick Works in Pearl River that I used to pass every day. I assume St Joe is St Joseph but that may be incorrect.
