“My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings.”

(from a letter of to a Jesuit friend in France, September 12, 1646, a month before he died).

FILIPINO MIDDLE EASTERN “A Taste of St. Isaac Jogues” is an invitation CHICKEN ADOBO, PANCIT HUMMUS W/PITA TABOULEH to celebrate unity in diversity . . . Unity in faith, INDIAN diversity in culture. While culture sets us apart, SAMOSAS NIGERIAN it is also what makes us uniquely what we are. JOLLOF RICE IRISH FRIED TURKEY & GOAT, Cultural diversity is a challenge, but it is also a SHEPHERDS PIE, MOIN, DODO blessing. Food is a very important part of CORNED BEEF SANDWICH POLISH cultural identity. When we share food, we KIELBASA W/KAPUSTA peacefully cross borders and communicate in a universal language that goes beyond words.

The whole “idea” of “A Taste of . . .” is not new, nor is it untried by a large part of the population. Remember the first time you tasted food your mother never made? It seemed risky or dangerous, but what a revelation it was! Expanding horizons - - and sometimes waistlines - - resulted. That’s the way America fell in love with pizza, tacos, and sushi. That’s the way the supermarket freezer became stocked with pierogi, egg rolls, and naan bread. It’s amazing what our options have become - - ethnic dining, carry-outs, and Food channel experiments!

Here at St. Isaac Jogues, festival foods are a special treat. We look forward to Simbang Gabi and San Lorenzo’s Feast to sample Pancit and other Filipino delights. The Men’s Club has a monthly “chow down” feature -- grilled steak, bratwurst, pasta, corned beef and cabbage, kielbasa and kraut, and even an “awesome” Chili Throwdown. Champion Chili chef, Wally Polinski, is providing his secret recipe for this year’s “Taste.” The Women’s Club and Parish Life Commission are also certain to serve a selection of foods both savory and sweet!

We’re excited about the overall menu for our first “Taste.” Familiar favorites like pasta and meatballs, pierogi, kielbasa and kraut, and hot dogs will compete with Chicken Adobo, Samosas, Shepherds’ Pie, Hummus, Tabouleh and pita bread. Depending on your particular palate, there’s even more diversity! How about Pancit or a Corned Beef Sandwich?

I am always interested in something completely different. In all my travels and dining experience, I have never tasted Nigerian food! Jollof Rice, Roasted Goat or Turkey, the Moin medley of black-eyed beans, tomatoes, onion, ground crayfish, corned beef and hardboiled egg and DoDo (fried ripe plantain). . . For a real “foodie” it's irresistible and what an adventure!

No matter what you choose and how you pace yourself, remember there’s music, dancing and a Sweet Table to enjoy before the Raffle. With our “Taste of St. Isaac Jogues” the celebration goes on and on! Enjoy “Patty and the Melts,” old and new friends. It will be a night with some lucky prize winners, but where every food ticket can make you a winner. Celebrate the “Taste!”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Although the hours of daylight are rapidly dwindling, many people would say that these October days bring the year’s most splendid weather. Americans are riders and joggers, not strollers, and so the pleasures of the season are often lost on us. This is not the case with many Jewish people, who observe an ancient rule in walking to synagogue on the Sabbath. On city streets and suburban sidewalks in many cities, we may notice around sunset the nicely dressed families walking and chatting on Friday afternoon. After a short prayer at dusk, the families stroll home again for a relaxing and festive meal. They return to synagogue in the morning, and then spend an afternoon in family leisure until three stars appear in the night sky and Sabbath ends.

Catholics, on the other hand, pile into the car and drive even a short distance to Mass; some even divide the family to participate at different hours. For Jews, the leisurely walk marks a dividing line between hectic life commitments and a day of abundant joy and enrichment. Before we became an automobile culture, Catholics embraced a similar pace, and in most places walked to church. These lovely days of fall invite us to tap into an old and life-giving tradi- tion. If you live within a mile of your church, walk next week. If you must drive, park at a good distance and walk the rest of the way. Talk about your life, greet strangers, notice the crunch of leaves under your shoes. You may be surprised at how different Sunday Mass feels when it is framed by leisure!
