Cooking and Cleaning

Gina Savinetti prepares meals for the Community, six days per week. Usually she cooks for a group of 7 or 8 Jesuits. But in the summer, when Jesuits from Tucson and various visitors are in res- idence at Castel Gandolfo, sometimes she finds herself cooking for 10 or 12 or more. Gina is a whiz when it comes to accommodating the diverse palates and dietary needs of the Jesuits of the Observatory, who come from seven countries on four continents, and who range in age from 40 to 92. When Pope Francis came for lunch, in summer 2013, Gina also prepared the meal, complete with Argentinian empanadas.
