A book on the history of Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in South Africa was launched in Skibbereen, Co. Cork, Ireland on 24 April. Entitled To Cape Town and Back, the book was written by west Cork priest, Fr. Michael Crowley, msc.
The book is about the cultural, religious, and political transformation of South Africa in the second half of the twentieth century. The author spent 45 years ministering in the country and could write with the insight of a participant in the transformation. He weaves the story out of many strands, telling it always from the perspective of his personal involvement. He appreciates the contribution of many people to the creation of the new South Africa, some of them great men such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu of the Zulu people, and the late Archbishop Denis Hurley with west Cork roots, and many ordinary men and women committed to the work of the Gospel. |
