Last Month's Book

Catholic Almanac 2009Trouble Don't Last Always

The book relates how Friend grew up in an apartment behind the former Brumley Hotel (where his father was butcher and chef until he lost his sight to diabetes), and then along Wesley Avenue in Greeneville. (The Brumley Hotel was the predecessor to the General Morgan Inn and located at the same site.) Rev. Friend relates how the family survived a hungry winter in a cabin near Bulls Gap after his father died, a terrible time that knitted a family bond that is still strong.

From Slave To Priest: The Inspirational Story of Fr. Augustine Tolton
By Sr. Caroline Hemesath, SSF

From Slave To Priest

As the first black Catholic priest of the United States, Fr. Augustine Tolton (1854-1897) was born into slavery and conquered almost insurmountable odds to become a Catholic priest. He was refused at every American Catholic seminary because of this race, and ultimately received his theological training in Rome, where he was ordained. Though he died an early death at age 43, Fr. Tolton left behind a shining legacy of holy service to God and his people. He was the pastor of St. Monica's Church in Chicago, and established a center which was the focal point for the life of black Catholics in Chicago for 30 years. Book Details
