By Fr. Leo P. Maxfield, M.S., Avalini Publishers, Fitchburg, MA, 2007, 157 pgs. This memoir of the life, faith and ministry of Fr.

Light on the Mountain: the Story of La Salette,

by John S. Kennedy, La Salette Communications Center Publications, Attleboro, MA, 2011,

illustrated, 220 pgs. This book has been recently republished (2011) and contains a fascinating narrative describing the days before the apparition in 1846 until the completion of the construction of the Basilica

and the blessing of the La Salette Statue in 1878. It is filled with refined historical information masterfully analyzed for the uninitiated. This recent edition also has over 45 historic pictures of people and places that fill out the texture of the story of the La Salette Apparition, its personages and the community's tremendous challenges and growth.

Promises Kept: Memoires of a Missionary Priest, Fr. Fred Julien, M.S.,

As told to Richard Pezdirtz, St. Paul's Publishing, Manila, Philippines, 1997, illustrated, 316 pgs. Formed from his discussions with Fr. Fred, Richard Pezdirtz, a professional journalist and his longtime friend has fashioned a rollicking read. It is the fascinating history of a dedicated man of God, covering nearly the entire twentieth century, the life story of Fr. Fred's triumphs and tragedies, as dramatic and astounding as was Fr. Fred's World War II deliverance from a Japanese Concentration Camp in the Philippines. And this was just the beginning of a marvelous life of service, building God's Church – both spiritually and physically – with strong

faith and a wonderful sense of humor.

It is based on the "Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola" and explores, in fourteen meditations, the classic stages of spiritual development, influenced by the French

School of Spirituality.

The Missionaries of La Salette: From France to North America,

by Fr. Donald Paradis, M.S., La Salette Publications, Attleboro, MA, 2000, 164 pgs.
