Synopsis
This is not a run-of-the-mill diary from the pen of a nostalgic, retired pastor. It is the extraordinary story of an unusual parish, told by a priest who charted its course through some thirty years and saw it rise from a small struggling group of immigrant families to a thriving vigorous community of faith which the late Terence Cardinal Cooke termed a miracle of faith and love. Drawn from real life, the men and women who appear in the pages of this book stand out as unforgettable characters, be they young or old, humble or great, sinners or saints. it is an immensely readable book, filled with sparkling factual episodes, a book which spans new vistas on the far-reaching influence of the parish in the day-to-day life of the people of God.
