For more than 70 years, the Marian Guild of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Rome, New York, has been publishing cookbooks filled with authentic Italian American recipes and other family favorites. Earlier editions like What's Cookin' in Rome (1977) have become treasured items in the local community and beyond. Their well-worn pages are a testament to the timeless traditions they contain; but, with each passing year, only a precious few copies remain. Now, for the first time, the original Marian Guild recipes are available in a single volume - Deo Gratias (Thanks be to God)!

Our Parish Heritage Cookbook includes over 200 classic recipes, from pizzelles and Easter bread to gołąbki and baccalà. With memories, stories, and photos spanning more than a century of parish history, this book is much more than a cooking guide: it's a true keepsake item. In these pages, our parish family remembers the mothers and fathers who first shared these foods with us, the traditions we carry forward, and the many blessings we receive as we break bread together.

All proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to support St. John the Baptist & Transfiguration Catholic Church of Rome, New York.
