History of Corned Beef and Cabbage at St. Patrick
The Corned Beef & Cabbage Dinner has been a major event at St. Patrick Parish since the first dinner was held in 1947. The get-go dinners were held at the Wentzville Community Order then located where Crossroads Square Shopping Center is now on Pearce Blvd. The families of the parish prepared most everything for the dinner from scratch including the horseradish.

"The parish used to brand homemade horseradish. Someone would become over to Illinois and bring dorsum large bags of horseradish roots that they bought. Parishioners went to Schroeder's to pare information technology and grind it. Dad always said that there was a green cloud of fumes where they were grinding it. Nobody complained most sinus problems." —Jim Schroer

In the beginning, members retrieve Alma and Pres Heady cured the beef at their business firm. In 1951 they started cooking the beef in cauldrons over open fires at Schroeder's farm. The get-go yr 200 pounds of beef were prepared. There were 2,400 pounds of corned beef prepared for the dinner in 2004.

Present 24-hour interval
The parish at present orders and prepares over 2,800 pounds of beef and 450 pounds of ham for the ane-day event and is still cooked in kettles over the fire at a local farm.

In preparation for the dinner, many volunteers gather early the twenty-four hours before the dinner, to wash, skin, and cutting up i,000 pounds of cabbage, 600 pounds of carrots, and 1,100 pounds of potatoes, all of which gets cooked fresh that Sunday. Cornbread is besides mixed that day and hundreds of homemade cakes, pies, and loaves of bread are delivered.

Even though it takes a lot of training and work by many volunteers, it is also a great source of fellowship past all those working together and  the results are delicious.
