Alphonse Gallegos was described as "the spark that set in motion the mobile pastoral teams for farm workers throughout California, as well as the Spanish language radio programs that reached migrant farm workers in California and in Mexico." Bishop Gallegos achieved a happy balance between a profound interior union with Jesus Christ and a generous and genuine self-giving. BISHOP OF THE BARRIO traces the life of this saintly man, whose cause for canonization has just been opened, and looks at the many individuals and groups that were affected by his pastoral leadership and spirituality. It is refreshing to reflect on this outstanding example of a loving, dedicated pastor who has served the "People of God" in a truly heroic manner. To reveal the personal history of this saintly man is to touch base with the manifestations of holiness in our own time. With both English and Spanish editions being released simultaneously, this book will reach many people who both knew this man or have been inspired by the lives he touched. †
