Their book features historical sketches and photographs of people and buildings important to Catholic St. Louis.
Father William Barnaby Faherty is at it again.
The 94-year-old Jesuit priest has penned yet another book. And this time, he’s joined a local Catholic photographer with an interest in church architecture.
Father Faherty and photographer Mark Scott Abeln this month released “Catholic St. Louis: A Pictorial History” (Reedy Press; $32.95).
The four-color, coffee table-style book features historical sketches of Catholic St. Louis and the people and buildings that have played an important part in its history.
In addition to a short history of the Catholic Church in St. Louis, it features a section on Catholics from St. Louis who played important roles in the life of the Church. Examples include early Bishops William DuBourg and Joseph Rosati, Msgr. Martin Hellriegel, who had an influence on liturgical practices, and the Emil Frei family and their work with stained glass.
