Father Michael Collins spoke to a group of more than 35 about
his new book Pope Francis: A Photographic Portrait of the
People’s Pope at St. Ann Church in Arlington Sept. 14.
Father Collins, curate of St. Mary’s Church Haddington Road
in Dublin, Ireland, is on a 21-day book tour that includes
New York, Boston, Washington and Philadelphia. The book,
published in the United States by DK Publishing, follows a
year in the life of Pope Francis. It includes more than 250
previously unpublished photos by Rodolfo Felici whose family
has served as official papal photographers for five
generations.
Father Collins also writes regular columns for the
Catholic Times in the United Kingdom and has written
several other books about the history of the papacy and
behind-the-scenes looks at life in the Vatican.
