Hardback book with Dust Jacket by Edward Roberts Moore
Over 250 pages
Second Printing, 1951
Copyright, 1950, by E. Roberts Moore
" Monsignor Moore is {was} pastor of historic St. Peter's Church in the heart of downtown New York. For nearly two decades he was Director of the Division of Social Action of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York.
In the present book he tells of his many experiences in both capacities, giving a vivid description enlivened by many anecdotes of the daily life of a Catholic priest.
The book is intended to answer the question so frequently asked,
"What does a priest, any priest do? What is his daily routine?" "
" Judging from Monsignor Moore's own experiences as related in this book, a priest's life is far from dull.
On duty twenty-four hours a day, every kind of human problem comes to him.
His telephone rings in the early hours of the morning - a parishioner has had a heart attack; or there has been an accident and he must minister to the dying.
In the front parlor of the rectory young couples come in to plan for their forthcoming nuptials; the professional panhandler is a regular visitor; a man given to drink seeks advice; a rosary or statue is to be blessed. "
" This book will be welcomed by Catholics who may wish to know more about the daily lives of their priests, and by non-Catholics curious to know what sort of man dwells within that Roman Collar. "
