As the Foreword to 'Catholics in English Canada' points out, this is the first popular attempt to let Canada's English-speaking Catholics know that they have a history. That history turns out to have many fascinating aspects. Few of us realize, for example, that life for Irish Catholics in Newfoundland in the 18th century was a kind of purgatory. One Michael Keating, for example, lost all his possessions and was sent into exile because he let a priest say Mass in his fish store! Many great men come into this account - Alexander MacDonnell, first bishop of Kingston, who could get along well with the Anglican Archbishop of Toronto and members of the Orange Lodge but not with Toronto's Irish Catholics. Michael Power, first bishop of Toronto, helped tend the fever-stricken Irish who had fled their famine-plagued homeland, and then died of fever himself. The Black Robe voyageur, Father Lacombe, who helped open up the west and other legendary figures are discussed in this book. But the book mainly gives us an impression of the struggles which very ordinary people had to undergo in order to keep the faith in an often hostile environment, and guard it for their posterity. Our Canadian Catholic pioneers deserve to have their story chronicled, and this book does them justice Includes index.
