Cook Book Last year for our 25th anniversary, we collected and had published a cookbook with some of the parish’s favorite ethnic recipes. The cookbook was a big success and we sold out all the copies. But there have been requests for the cookbook. Some of the cooks whose recipes are included have passed away. We are ordering a second printing of 100 cookbooks. If you would like us to reserve one for you, please fill in the form below. The price remains the same at $8. There are wonderful ethnic family recipes in this book. Buy one and try something new. They also make great gifts.
