MOTHER CABRINI: Missionary to the World

by Frances Parkinson Keyes ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

This is one of the best volumes to appear in the Vision Books series. The remarkable character and astounding achievements of the first U.S. citizen to be canonized come alive for Catholic girls between the ages of ten and sixteen through the fictional device of a mother superior's story told to two of her eighth- grade pupils. An inspiring account is given of the establishment of numerous, far-flung convents, schools, orphanages and hospitals by Mother Cabrini. Authoritative sources have been drawn on and careful research on the part of the author is apparent. The style is simple and interesting.
