Moments of Grace: Preparing for the Canonization of Brother Andre
Fr. Thomas Barrosse, CSC and Br. Joel Giallanza, CSC

This booklet contains insights into the life and work of Brother Andre Bessette, originally written by Father Thomas Barrosse, CSC (+1994) on the occasion of Brother Andre’s beatification. His thoughts are worth reading again as we prepare for the canonization by Pope Benedict XVI on October 17, 2010. Also included are an introduction, comments and reflection/discussion questions by Brother Joel Giallanza, CSC, of the South-West Province of Holy Cross Brothers. This booklet is suitable for group use as well as personal devotions. Includes photos of Brother Andre and the Oratory.
