Calling All Cooks!  In conjunction with our Saint Joseph Parish 70th Anniversary, the Columbiettes are publishing a cookbook to be available by Christmas Fest 2020. Please submit one (or several!) of your favorite family recipe(s) and include the name(s) you would like listed as the contributor(s). It would be helpful if you can categorize the recipe under one of these 8 categories: Appetizers & Beverages, Soups & Salads, Vegetables & Side Dishes, Main Dishes, Breads & Rolls, Desserts, Cookies & Candy, and This & That. If multiple people submit the same recipe, the recipe will be included once with multiple contributors listed. You may submit the recipes to the email below or by paper to the parish office:

Saint Joseph Parish Office
Attention Columbiettes
410 E Simpson Street
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055

If you submit the recipe to the parish office, please include your name and phone number in case the Columbiettes have any questions.

The deadline for submitting recipes was July 15.
 
 

The Columbiettes of Saint Joseph Council 12788 is a unified body of Catholic women, often working side-by-side with the Knights of Columbus. Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 PM, with the exceptions of January, July, and August. Various programs and outreach missions occur as often as called for by the decisions of the group. Once initiated into the Columbiettes, all are encouraged to participate according to their gifts and talents which they bring to the table, their interests, and as their time allows.
