Short Description of the book
This collection, written over thirty-five years, shares insight into the life and legacy of Fr Woods. Each article is woven into his human journey as priest, founder, friend or all three aspects. It is written from the point of view of a member of the Lochinvar Josephite congregation, whose pioneers left an enduring ownership of Fr Woods as founder. The writer has a conviction of the indestructible unity of heart in all Sisters of St Joseph springing from the Penola-Adelaide foundation, all drawn into the fire struck in the hearts of Mary MacKillop and Julian Tenison Woods at Penola.
