 Ministry of Presence
Vignettes of Skid Row
and East L.A. Ministry
Bishop John T. Steinbock
The simple yet engaging style in which these vignettes reflect the experiences of a priest in the Skid Row neighborhood of East L.A., provides a unique glimpse into the life experiences of the dedicated men who have pledged their lives to God and, as priests, do His work among us. In a time when the Church faces a crisis that tears at the very fabric of the priesthood, reading this book reminds us of the great challenges priests face daily, and shows us how they find the strength, love, and wisdom to serve in their ministry as true apostles.
And I thought the priestly life was possibly boring?? Not for this writer, the priestly life brought happenings one would never dream possible... A surprise a minute! One would never think that a priest could have so many strange experiences. One more exciting than another.”
--Gloria Mary Marschall, Diocese of Fresno
It is good to remember those times now with nostalgia and with grace from God for having lived through them; having experienced such difficult ...grace filled moments. Bishop Steinbock’s vignettes are good to read for us priests and for all people in this day and age.”
--Bishop Moreno, Diocese of Tucson
