Will the faith of Holy Russia help renew the faith of the West?
Catherine Doherty’s zeal for bringing people to Christ led her to write about the Christian customs of the Russia of her childhood in a way that feeds our faith.
The faith of Old Russia endured through the Revolution and the Communist era and still endures today. My Russian Yesterdays is a book of the ordinary Russian people and of the solid, simple, yet abiding faith which was the joy and inspiration of their life. Is this the sort of example which will lead us to God’s peace and order in the midst of our modern, complex, and fear-burdened world?

About the Author
Catherine Doherty used her heritage as a Russian Christian as a matrix for responding to the needs of Christian life and work in the modern world. Her own personal pilgrimage led her to be “poor with the poor Christ” in the slums of Toronto and in Harlem; and later to the establishing of the world-wide Madonna House Apostolate. A dedicated wife and mother, Catherine was also a prolific writer of hundreds of articles, a best-selling author of dozens of books, a renowned national speaker, and a pioneer of social justice. Catherine Doherty's cause for canonization as a saint is now under consideration by the Catholic Church.
