Bishop Healy

Some live long and interesting lives without ever being recognized or having their biography noted. Thanks to Father Foley, the story of Bishop Healy is available in this fine volume. This priest broke many barriers in his long service to the church, the country, and the people whom he served. He rose from birth as a slave in Georgia, his father being an Irishman and his mother a slave. Sent to New England in order to get an education, he established himself and led a full life in which he contributed a number of extraordinary experiences. We are blessed that someone took the time to tell his story.
