And One Was A Doctor And One Was A Priest

This extraordinary little book reveals the journeys of four quite different, yet very similar, persons bound together by the fact that God has touched them deeply and changed their lives forever. Allowing one to look within, to see, to hear, to journey in discovering what God has done for you, it offers a testimony to what has happened to these pilgrims.

Now, this much beloved hymn is whimsically illustrated by a renowned children's book artist. In charming rhyme, the lives of various saints, like Joan of Arc, are acted out by a mischievous children's choir.

Patrick made a tall promise but regretted ever making it after twenty-five years.

In One Happy Old Priest, Father Thomas Sullivan looks back on his eighty years as a catholic, a life that includes both family and scores of fine seminarians, priests, nuns, and parishioners. With an honest and rollicking writing style, Father Sullivan recreates moments that stand out in his childhood, seminary education, priest training, and life as a foreign missionary and pastor stateside. One Happy Old Priest is one mans look at how the church has cultivated, preserved, and navigated decades of sometimes unwelcome change. The volume includes photographs of family, priests, nuns, and parishioners. An appendix lists Columban Fathers mentioned in the text, a testament of the many who dedicated their lives to the service of the church. The epilogue draws attention to the man Father Sullivan believes represents the best of what the church has to offer, then and now.
