The Miracle of
St. Genevieve:
Vatican II and the Victory of Faith
Praise for
The Miracle
"The Miracle of St. Genevieve is
enjoyable reading because it is a good story,
told in the style of an experienced
story-teller. But it is important reading, too,
because in this one parish readers will get a
glimpse of a piece of Catholic history in the
United States. It's certainly not the entire
picture, but by itself it captures the church in
which millions of Catholics were formed and
transformed, searched and struggled, and with
which they eventually connected or from which
they walked away.
-- Brian T. Olszewski,
Catholic News Service
"This book is a truly inspirational story,
not only for other parishes, but even for people
in different walks of life who need some
motivation to overcome obstacles. The
parishioners faced those obstacles, challenged
them, and came out stronger as a result."
-- Jim Logue Jr., GrapeVine,

"Extraordinary...Regardless of your faith,
you can relate to the story told. Readers will
recognize the people he describes within your
own congregation – the good shepherds and bad,
those who struggle and those who lead, the
memorable and the unremarkable...Inspirational."
-- Mark Lardas, Galveston Daily News
"The Miracle of St. Genevieve
is...choice...for anyone looking for an
inspirational read."
-- Carl Logan, Midwest Book Review
“The
Miracle of St. Genevieveis
an informative narrative of grass-roots
Catholicism in action in all of its trials and
tribulations, written by an intelligent
participant. It is also a chronicle of the
birth of a parish and of the undaunted faith of
the parishioners in good times and bad.”--Reverend
John W. O'Malley, S.J., author of What Happened
at Vatican II
