As a daring soldier in the Union Army, Ira Dutton earned the respect and affection of the men around him. Handsome and affable, he easily had a full social life when the war was over. However, it wasn’t long before he heard the call of God and knew he had to change his ways. Through the influence of good Catholic friends, he sought out religion in the Catholic Faith. Changing his name to Joseph at his Baptism (one of his favorite saints) and starting a new life, he went to spend time at a monastery to seek God’s will for him. Joseph determined while there that the contemplative life was not his calling, he felt he needed to do active penance, that his “wild years” demanded atonement. Hearing of the ministry at Molokai, he discerned that was where he was called to go, to aid and assist the ailing Father Damien. Making a free gift of himself, his strength, and his capacity for love. Deeply patriotic, he cultivated in his charges devotion to America, the ever faithful Yankee at Molokai. Dutton became known affectionately at Molokai as Brother Joseph, as he was truly a beloved “brother” to all; his love, sense or humor, and tender care for others left a lasting legacy. A vivid and exciting story.

Priest on Horseback is an exciting children’s historical novel highlighting the story of the then famous Father Farmer’s life and experiences in colonial America. The story starts in New Jersey where the priest encounters much danger and excitement while riding circuit, providing Mass and the sacraments to people who had not heard Mass for years, unimaginable to us who have the Mass so much more available to us today. Throughout the tale Father Farmer also faces many adventures helping a man named Sebastian solve the problems caused by his fiancée being sold as an indentured servant.

St. Jean Marie Vianney always found it hard to learn. In fact, he made history by receiving a zero on his examination after his first year of study in the seminary. But, by the grace of God he went on to become a priest, and what a priest he was! He became the beloved Cure of Ars, turning the lax and neglectful town around, bringing the inhabitants back to church, teaching them the Faith.

Week by week, year by year, his fame as an adviser and a confessor grew. People flocked from great distances to his little church, and privately, among themselves, they called him “saint”. The devil, furious at the ever-increasing number of souls being saved by the Cure, tempted and taunted the priest and even persecuted him physically. But Satan found he had met his match in, The Man Who Fought the Devil.
