PARISH PRIEST:
Father Michael McGivney and American Catholicism
Father Michael McGivney and American Catholicism
by Douglas Brinkley and Julie M. Fenster
“A well-researched and fascinating biography”
– bestselling author Rev. Andrew Greeley, America magazine
“An articulate and sensitively written biography.”
Library Journal
“It doesn’t happen very often, possibly only once every few years, that I pick up a book and am
surprised by what it contains. When a book surprises me, the world changes just a little bit
and I see some things in an entirely new way. That is why it is such a pleasure to be surprised
by a book. I was surprised by Parish Priest, Father Michael McGivney and American
Catholicism, and a lot of things look a little different since I picked it up to read.”
