"Beneath her mantle and her banner"

Every chance to bring some new work into the world is a grace and a blessing, but I am not the only one who feels the hand of providence at work in the appearance of this new book, a long poem that is a liturgy and history of Catholicism in North America, The River of the Immaculate Conception.

This is a limited edition printing of the poem published to commemorate the premiere of Frank LaRocca's glorious Mass of the Americas, which occurred December 8, 2018, at St. Mary's Cathedral, in San Francisco.  You can hear the Mass for yourself, whether on EWTN's recording of the event, or by attending one of the Masses themselves, as the Mass is held at various cathedrals around North America and, so I am told, at St. Peter's seat itself.
