As you may imagine, being a priest and raising a family can present many challenges. In order to shift focus, Father Sam turned to baking bread in his kitchen. The recipe he used for the bread was handed down through generations of his family, making it thousands of years old. Father Sam began sharing his family's bread with his parishioners at church dinners and during the holiday seasons.
He was eventually able to use the bread in Holy Communion after receiving permission from the Bishop of the Diocese. Two close friends of Father Sam's, Jerry and Dorothy Stahlnecker, pointed out the popularity of the product and convinced Father Sam to look into producing the bread for sale to the public.

It’s insulting and a joke that this place calls itself a bakery and claims its food is wholesome and made of whole ingredients. This is the ingredient list for wraps. It’s basically entirely chemicals, including disgusting red dye #40, apparently to give the green appearance that these contain vegetables. My husband bought these in a pinch as the only option at the local store and we’re throwing the entire bag out because it’s basically just a bag full of chemical poison. This “bakery” should be ashamed

Big fire happening right now at Father Sam's Bakery, not a surprise. Management has absolutely no control of things in there, a very dangerous place to work. If you eat at Mighty Taco and find soot on your tortilla now you know why. They need health department oversight on that place, honestly. I have no clue how they are SQF certified. #fathersamsbakery

No matter where I go, Top's or Wegman's I keep finding holes in the seals of your tortilla's. After investigating and finding out who makes these tortilla's I've come to learn it's Father Sam's Bakery. I then was taken to their brand name torillas which I found seals broken. I found one out of 5 that didn't have a hole I bought it and every tortilla besides the top and bottom had green blotches on them. I will be buying Ortega from now on. I can't trust your product.
