I thank Saint Paschal, a patron saint of cooks, because with his divine inspiration I became a very good pastry cook. Together with my daughter we make cookies and cakes. We’re earning a living for our family, and we are doing good.

My stove had been possessed by the fire devils. Every time I started to cook I was afraid to get burns because they were causing big dangerous flames. I prayed so much to Saint Paschal Baylon to help me to throw these demons out of my kitchen. The saint herald me and gave me an advice in my dream to sprinkle my stove with holy water. I did so, and it helped. The devils never came back to disturb me.

Dear Saint Paschal Baylon, help doña Tere so her restaurant would do well because it’s very delicious here.

My patrons asked me to cook some mole and two turkeys. I was feeling bad to kill birds. I thank Saint Paschal because I convinced my patrons to have another dish and they even gave me those two turkeys as a gift. I took them back to my hut, and I’m very glad.

The demon of the gluttony possessed everyone in the house. We ate without a break whatever comes to hand. We became so fat that I couldn’t get in my dresses. Then I asked Saint Paschal Baylon for a help. The saint took mercy upon us, and our voracious hunger started to decline thanks to the fact that the saint chased the demon out from our kitchen. Now we are eating much less and are losing weight.

Doña Concha’s tavern

Many thanks, Saint Paschal, because you gave good taste to doña Concha’s dishes. and one really enjoys her food.

Laura and Catalina Peña were in a bad financial position. But since they were good pastry cooks, they had an idea of selling cakes. They thank Saint Paschal Baylon, a patron saint of cooks, because now they make enough money to support themselves and even to save something for hard times and also to treat themselves time to time.

Leonorilda Gonzalez suffered a lot because when she ate cereal or starchy she couldn’t stop farting. She implored Saint Paschal Baylon and, after many prayers, got cured. She thanks for the favor with this retablo.
