Be inspired by the heroic life of a humble priest, who was a CHAMPION OF THE POOR
About this Comic Book
This action-packed, full-color comic book biography tells the inspiring life story of Father Joe Walijewski, priest of the Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin and founder of the Casa Hogar orphanage in Peru. From his days as an impressionable young boy in Michigan, where he discovered a unique call to the priesthood, to his daring adventures as a missionary in South America, readers are immersed into the heroic actions of a courageous Champion of the Poor.
Message from Bishop William Patrick Callahan
"The strength and mission of Fr. Joe Walijewski is for people of all ages. This comic book will help us share the force of his story with many and draw them into his life of service and an imitation of his virtue."
- Most Rev. William Patrick Callahan, Diocese of La Crosse
