This is the true story of the power of faith. The setting is a Catholic parish deep in the bayous of southern Louisiana, but this tale transcends religious and geographic backgrounds. The Miracle of St. Genevieve is the inspiring, heartbreaking and uplifting story of how a faith community has struggled and strengthened through a half century of dwindling national church attendance, parochial school closings, clerical scandals and overall questioning of the value of organized religion. It speaks to all readers searching for signs that meaningful human connections still exist in the world and that a community of faith is still one place to find them. Through the personal stories of clergy and ordinary congregants alike, The Miracle of St. Genevieve reveals why faith matters and how the sharing of faith can heal and elevate a community.
