We have good news for you! The Nativity Bake Sale hosted by the Antiochian Women of St. Ignatius Church has not been canceled this year. The sale will happen, but just a bit different than last year.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, Dec. 12, for the Nativity Bake Sale from 9 a.m. until noon. If you have tried our baked goods before, then you know our bakery is delicious and you have been waiting for this announcement.
The sale this year will be a pre-order event only. With the uncertainty of COVID-19, we felt it best to downsize the scope of our event, but that does not mean the selections will be less. Our Nativity Baked Goods Sale pre-order form will be available in early November with pick up scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 12. Advance orders are due no later than Dec. 1.
Check out our Facebook page — St. Ignatius Holiday Delights — for pictures of some of our super pastries and a link to the pre-order form.
If you fondly remember your grandmother’s bakery at Christmas, you’ll be sure to want to order our baked goods. We will have a variety of ethnic items, such as Serbian, Czechoslovakian, Greek and Russian holiday treats and specialty breads. We feature Serbian nut, prune, apricot and poppy seed rolls, Eastern European pastries, Czechoslovakian and Greek cookies, and Russian tea cakes. And don’t forget our famous baklava!
In addition to cultural treats, the Antiochian Women are known for its sweet options, including chocolate-covered peanut butter balls, homemade fudge, dipped marshmallows and traditional holiday cookies. We are offering an abundance of items that can be used for holiday gifts and treasures. If you are looking for a special gift for a teacher or neighbor, our holiday treats cannot be beat. They are delicious and well-priced.
Please know that St. Ignatius Church has moved to 2402 N. Usery Road, which is Ellsworth Road north of McKellips Road, on the west side. We will be open for pick-up of pre-ordered baked goods starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12. When you place an order, we will confirm pick up time with you. This will be a COVID-friendly bake sale — the bake sale Christmas elves will be wearing masks and gloves to ensure your safety.
