St. Brendan The Navigator Cookbook For Sale

Posted November 14th 2022

The St. Brendan the Navigator Parish community cookbook is available for purchase, just in time for the holidays.

Michelle Dooley, who coordinated the cookbook’s development, said that parishioners will likely find recipes from their family members and friends, or even their favorite dinner spots on the island. She and others spent months gathering recipes from parishioners, community members and local restaurants — including Bobby Dee’s Rock ’n Chair, Borghi’s By the Bay, and Luciano’s — to create the cookbook.

Dooley said it was created as a “Friendraiser,” as opposed to just a fundraiser. The main goal was to encourage the community to come together and bond over something we all love: a good meal.

“The cookbook is a great gift because it is full of delicious recipes,” she said. “It’s nostalgic of the island. It is a history of St. Brendan the Navigator Parish. The cover shows the joy and beauty of Seven Mile Beach, and it stirs up shore-time memories and the fun of our parish community.”

St. Brendan’s is selling the cookbooks for $15. Stop by the parish office weekdays from 9am-4pm to purchase, or call 609-967-3746 to order over the phone and have it sent to you for a $5 shipping charge.
