Historically Speaking: Fr. Francis Michael Walsh

Join the St. Peter Claver Catholic Church community in welcoming back Fr. Francis Michael Walsh to celebrate the publication of his book –
The Story of the St. Inigoes Mission 1634-1994
“Woven into the fabric of the story Father Walsh tells is an enduring optimism. The possibility of positive change, the idea that within the faith itself, Black and White Catholics could arrive at shared understanding of how to pursue their best lives. That is the message of this work.”
