Hors d’Oeuvres and Even More!

Looking for a special gift? Order your copy of Sister Josepha Cullen's collection of delicious recipes, Hors d’Oeuvres and Even More!  

In 1972, while teaching at Holy Cross High School in Mountain View, California, Sister Josepha began collecting appetizer recipes. At first it was just those with three ingredients.  Over the years she published a series of five booklets that quickly sold out.  This brand new edition includes all of those recipes, plus additional salads, desserts, sauces and main dishes.  Over 300 tempting concoctions in all! Try the sample recipe which is reprinted below.

Archive photo of Holy Cross sisters in the kitchen.Making this book even more special are more than 40 historic photographs of Holy Cross schools, sisters, hospitals and convents along with sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, notations from the Congregation’s history. Its really a collectors item.

The book makes a fine gift.  The price is $10.00 which includes an $4.00 tax-deductible donation to our Ministry With the Poor (shipping and handling are also included.)  Order by mailOrder online.
