Written in 1854 in Italian (within 25 years of the foundation of W.A. as a British colony), the Memoirs were translated into French. ,Now for the first time, after more than a century, an English translation has been made by a member of the Loreto community, "Osborne," Claremont, W.A. The Memoirs are of exceptional historical interest, both as regards the civil and ecclesiastical history of the State. The customs of the native and of the heroic struggle to found the New Norcia mission are described in wonderfully fresh prose by the great missionary son of Spain, the Benedictine hero, Bishop Salvado. Secure your copy each week for this fascinating, real -life adventure, enacted with blood and tears in your own State.
