Welcome to Rectory, Set, Cook! We’re glad you're here!
From the first day of Lent (Fat Tuesday) until Palm Sunday, 31 Diocese of Scranton priests are fighting hunger by cooking. Whether preparing treasured family recipes or favorite Internet finds or just fumbling around the kitchen, they have willingly – in some cases with only mild coercion – agreed to become “pastor chefs." All they ask in return are your online votes to help them raise dollars for this important cause.
To support your favorite priest, video, recipe – we don’t care on what basis you vote, just THAT you vote! – all you need to do is click on a pastor’s page, select DONATE NOW and make at least a $10 gift. Each $10 gift counts as one vote and can help propel your chosen priest/s into the hunt for the top chef’s hats. You can find all of the participating pastors and watch their individual videos by clicking on the OUR CHEFS tab on this page. On mobile devices, please continue to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, past the sponsor logos, to see the OUR CHEFS tab.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THOSE USING MOBILE DEVICES: If you are not seeing the videos, please first click on VIEW, then click on "Read More" under the small rectangular image beneath "Donate to Vote" to uncover the PLAY function.
A few words about timing: In this Lenten season, when we as Catholics focus on sacrifice, penance, fasting and abstinence, it might seem unusual to celebrate food in this manner. It is our sincere hope, however, that this virtual celebration of table will remind all of us who have enough to eat that others are hungry and hurting. We hope you will consider this project a new way to give alms this Lent. As we thank God for our own blessings, we can all work toward a world in which no one ever goes hungry.
Your voting dollars will directly support Catholic Social Services’ food kitchens, food pantries and other anti-hunger efforts AS WELL AS THE PARTICIPATING PASTOR’S PARISH. All sponsorship dollars will stay with Catholic Social Services, while Catholic Social Services and the participating parish will share voting dollars.
Please enjoy as many visits and videos as you wish here for the next six weeks – and vote as often as you wish, too!
Our site will be live through midnight on Sunday, April 10, with winners announced and top chefs’ hats bestowed on Monday, April 11.
