The Life of Father Aloysius

By Fr. Charles Thomas Carpenter M.A.P.

This is the story of a humble but magnanimous Claretian priest, Fr. Aloysius Ellacuria, C.M.F. (1905-81), famous in Los Angeles and beyond, who died in the odor of sanctity, leaving many persons enthusiastic about following his spirituality. This book is a personal memoir by a priest who lived with Fr. Aloysius for almost four years. Besides revealing his own experiences with Fr. Aloysius, he has collected testimonies from many friends of Fr. Aloysius, some of whom were miraculously cured through his blessing. It is written for anyone who wishes to know about Fr. Aloysius, how he successfully maneuvered in a world which militates against prayer and virtue, toward the goal of holiness we all are called to attain. The first edition of this book came out twenty years ago. But since all copies were recently sold out, this new and fully revised edition is made available to the public, both in paperback and on Kindle. This second edition contains within the text updated information made necessary by the passage of time, more in-depth footnotes, with an added final chapter about the Cause of Beatification of Fr. Aloysius and the progress of his religious foundation in Mexico, the "Missionaries of Fatima."
