101 Places to Pray Before You Die; a Roamin' Catholic's Guide

$18.99
More Info
Five million visitors crowd into St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York each year. Hundreds of thousands annually pay homage to the Blessed Virgin at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. But Catholic travelers don't always realize that every state in the Union contains unique shrines, retreat houses, missions and other significant holy places. In 101 Places to Pray Before You Die, you'll discover the unexpected, the somber, the whimsical and the inspiring spots that, at times, are hidden in plain sight.
  • Every American has heard of the Battle of the Alamo, the heroic-but-hopeless defense put up by a few dozen Texans against an army from Mexico that numbered in the thousands. But most visitors overlook the fact that the Alamo was actually founded by a Franciscan priest as a mission, to bring the local Native American tribe into the Catholic faith.
  • A drive through Cullman, Alabama, will lead you to four acres of quirky miniature reproductions depicting some of the world's most famous religious structures.
  • Nuns who nursed the wounded on both sides of the Civil War are honored at Washington, D.C.'s Nuns of the Battlefield monument.
  • Dorothy Day, the social activist and champion of the poor, left her mark across New York City--and you can follow in her footsteps.
  • The book also bears witness to the legacy of European, Latin, African and Asian immigrants and Native Americans, tracing their distinctive influence on the history and practice of Catholicism in America.
    • Conveniently organized by state, 101 Places to Pray Before You Die will enhance your travel experiences--whether it's a day trip to explore a spot you've breezed past a hundred times, a quick detour on a business trip or a family vacation dedicated to more intensive spiritual searching. Each entry contains details about the location's significance to American Catholics, along with the address, contact information and hours of operation (if applicable).
