Wendy M. Wright Lady of Angels and Her City

Annotation

The Lady of the Angels and Her City recounts Wendy Wrights visitations to her hometowns many Marian churches and shrines. But it is much more than a personal pilgrimage narrative. It offers important glimpses into the history of Los Angeles Catholicism, American Catholic culture, and Marys place in Catholic theology and tradition. It peeks into the heroic labors of the religious orders that went on mission there and the waves of immigrants who have arrived on American shores. With Wright, readers will consider:Readers who know the geography of Los Angeles Catholicism will surely enjoy Wrights reflection on familiar places. But there is much here that will fascinate anyone interested in either the history of Christianity in America or devotion to Mary by those who love her today.
