Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Father Hand: Founder of All Hallows Catholic College for the Foreign Missions; The Story of a Great Servant of God
The largest Foreign Missionarv College in the Catholic world was founded' some forty-two years ago, near Dublin, by father hand, a holy Irish priest. In the first fervour of his ministry he dedicated himself with ardent zeal, to what he believed to be a heavenly itt spiration of sending the message of salvation to English speaking people, particularly to the poor exiles from Erin. Hence the story of his life cannot fail to be interesting, and especially welcome to all belonging to the Old Country.
Such a biography is at once a history and an argu ment; for it adds a bright chapter to the annals of the Irish Church, and furnishes an answer to those who represent the Catholic Cleigy of Ireland as indolent and unenlightened.
