• Feast Recipes
  Recipes are available for the dishes served at the Feast celebrating St. John the Evangelist. Look for the goldenrod colored pamphlet in the undercroft. If you pick up a copy, please consider making a freewill donation. All proceeds will be forwarded to Episcopal Relief and Development for Haiti relief. Perhaps the amount of a typical restaurant meal? The need for relief in Haiti will continue for a very long time. You may always contribute directly through Episcopal Relief and Development at their website, www.er-d.org.
