San Fernando Cathedral Soul of the City Virgilio P. Elizondo Timothy M. Mtovina 160 pages Orbis Books, 1998 Retail Price: $16.00 See Amazon’s discounted price This book truly kept my attention from the beginning to the end, mostly because I was born in San Antonio. I was inspired by the words on all of the 160 pages. I enjoyed reading about the faith and love of the people who built the church and the joy and love of the present church of the San Fernando Cathedral community. |
