A Priest Forever: the Life and Times of Father Robert F. Mcnamara

A Priest Forever: The Life and Times of Father Robert McNamara draws together research, insights from family, parishioners, and colleagues, and original writings to fashion a portrait of Father Robert Francis McNamara, a Roman Catholic priest who served the church's Rochester Diocese. Ann K. Maloney draws together material from a variety of sources to present the life and times of a man whom Rochester's Bishop Matthew H. Clark called "an extraordinary man." In a time in the church's history when deep doubts about the clergy lead many to question the trustworthiness of the church itself, A Priest Forever tells how one man-a faithful servant of God-carried out both his calling to priestly service and his immersion in the life of his wider community.
