The life of Father Tolton

While he was Pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Quincy, Illinois, the Reverend Roy Bauer was reknowned for his historical knowledge.

Over the course of several months, Father Bauer wrote and published a biography of Father Augustine Tolton, the first black priest in the U.S. and whose life was very much connected with St. Peter's, in the parish bulletin.

St. Peter's has put these weekly columns online.
