On March 19, 2024, Villa Maria Academy celebrated its first Feast of St. Joseph with a mass, said by Father Michael Conway of Salesian High School.

Father Conway honored us with a blessing of our three-tiered altar bearing gifts of fruit, bread, assorted pastries especially St. Joseph pastry, and cookies.

Thank you to our community supporters Cestra Bakery, LaSalle Bakery, Gino’s Pastry Shop, Zeppieri & Sons Italian Bakery and Hunts Point Produce Market.
