Since its foundation, the House of Hope International* retreat center

has cooked and provided meals for numerous religious order members

in need of rest from their labors. In this unique context of retreat

ministry and hospitality, House volunteers including Dr. Denise Marie

Mari, Lynn Marie Knapke and Aaron Shaun Brennan have been blessed to

learn much about saintly founders and friends of religious communities

in the USA and abroad; and, in many cases, to receive stories through

convent and monastery kitchen personnel. The House of Hope Int’l

kitchen began to prepare or cook relatively unknown recipes to satisfy

the tastes of clergy/religious guests. Not only does this one-of-a-kind

Cookbook contain religious order founder facts and original recipes but

it also features special bonus material such as founder quotes, fun-n-

easy songs to sing in the kitchen, food proverbs, cooking jokes, and

religious order blessings or grace said with meals. We hope this

Cookbook will draw readers closer to the Heart of Jesus the Divine Chef,

the best power source for those clergy/religious and lay people who

wish to serve with love from the kitchen to the dining table and beyond.

*All proceeds from this Cookbook will support House of Hope Int’l programs for

ordained and consecrated persons in need of rejuvenation.
