Kevin Wells to tell the Father Al Story at PPA
Come and hear biographer Kevin Wells tell the story of a different kind of American hero, an ordinary priest who stared down corruption, slander, persecution, and death for the sake of God's poor. "What Father Al managed to do is beyond the pale", said his longtime collaborator Monsignor James Golasinski. "He was the boldest man I ever knew. He feared nothing."
Kevin Wells is a former sports reporter with the Tampa Tribune, where he covered Major League Baseball and other sports. He is the best-selling author of The Priests We Need to Save the Church, which was disseminated into many American seminaries after its 2019 release. In June 2021, Ignatius Press released Kevin’s latest book, the biography on an American hero on the path to canonization, Priest and Beggar; the Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz.
