description: This volume offers glimpses of how practicing faith, living a life of prayer, and finding a way in a new land come together in forming the American Catholic experience. From a 1792 manual on devotion to the Sacred Heart, through a 1910 passion play in the West, to a 1965 street re-enactment of the stations of the cross, the reader can see changing styles of prayer and a living tradition renewing itself.
