Father Dominic hosted a popular TV show for 3 years on PBS, called "Breaking Bread with Father Dominic". People are still enjoying these re-runs today. Father is author of 5 books, as well as a popular speaker and busy teacher at St. Bede. "We scheduled Father Dominic 18 months prior to his Quincy visit, due to his packed schedule", states Deborah Lee U of I Extension, Horticulture Coordinator. "We are excited about the event and it is filling quickly."

Bread is more than just a hobby for Father Dominic. Through his stories and recipes, participants will appreciate how the actual making of bread can also: explore the role bread plays in many cultures prevalent in America, learn how bread connects us as a society, and realize how bread brings families and friends together.

The event includes a bread-making demonstration and tasting; plus a question/answer session and book signing. Cost $10. Click here to register online

The event is co-sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners and the Muddy River Herb Guild, with support from Quincy Steamboat, Ellington Presbyterian Church and the QU Franciscan Friars.
