Catholic New Hampshire
In 1855, Rev. David W. Bacon became the first bishop of the Diocese of Portland, which included Maine and New Hampshire. Between the two states, six priests and eight churches ministered to a few hundred Catholics. In the following years, Bacon founded 63 churches, ordained 52 priests, built 23 schools, and attended to a Catholic population of about 80,000. In 1884, New Hampshire became an independent diocese. By 1903, founding bishop Denis Bradly introduced over 30 missions; parishes; schools, including St. Anselm College; and charitable services. Since its inception in 1884, ten bishops selected from New Hampshire and other states have honored the Diocese of Manchester with their leadership. Throughout most of the 20th century, New Hampshire experienced growth in vocations and education. Starting in the 1970s, there was a decline of parochial students, vocations, and sacramental reception. Today, over 250,000 Catholics worship in the Granite State within 89 parishes.

The Prophetic Spirit of Catechesis
This pastoral book presents a new way to catechize adults using the relationship between ordinary life and Christian faith; it combines both theoretical considerations and practical strategies. For both professional and volunteer catechists.
Growing in the Church
Growing in the Church is a synthesis of psychology and theology which demonstrates why faith is necessary even in today's world, and how it meets the needs of modern humanity. Eschewing linear logic, Buckley uses psychology as the basis for his work, which is a journey through the formation of the Christian psyche. A rich book, yet simple in concept, it will fascinate Catholics and students of religion alike.
The Seandraoi
A collection of three folkloric tales from Cork, as collected by a scholar from the London Irish immigrant community in the aftermath of the Great Famine. All bear the hallmarks of antiquity: The Seandraoi, a druid, who predicts the fortunes of a newborn; Our Lady and the Two Farmers, a tale of Jesus's childhood; The Tailor's Prayers, a tale of fervent prayer and resurrection which may have evolved from a thirteenth century tale of St Edmund of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, as given in the chronicles of Lanercost Priory
