Produktbeschreibung
Cafeteria Catholics and parish Fish Fries were meant to be together, but there's more to being a Catholic than abstaining from meat on Fridays in Lent. From the beautiful St. Joseph's Day Altars to the Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, explore 100 things to do before your final Catholic Mass. Flipping from the fingers of one of New Orleans' very own devout Catholics, read about the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption of Mary, and the oblates, as well as church traditions. Oh, and did you know even J. R. R. Tolkien was Catholic? Born and raised in New Orleans, Earl J. Higgins retired from the United States Navy and from the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, in 2002 as the assistant director of staff attorneys. He is a ranger at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, and he writes a column for the Delta Sierran, a publication of the Sierra Club. Higgins, a graduate of Jesuit High School, earned his bachelor of arts in English and his juris doctorate from Tulane University. This is his third book with Pelican, following The Joy of Y'at Catholicism and Metairie, Ames, High: The Streets of Jefferson Parish. He lives in River Ridge, Louisiana.

Autorenporträt
Much like royalty ascending a throne, Earl J. Higgins had the markings of a Y'at Catholic from the beginning. He began his physical and spiritual life in bastions of New Orleans' Catholic culture, having been born October 1941 in Hotel Dieu Hospital and christened in St. Stephen's Catholic Church. Graduating from Jesuit High School cinched the deal. He is an authentic Y'at, an affectionate term for a local New Orleanian. Armed with a B.A. in English and a juris doctorate from Tulane University, Higgins compiled an impressive resume of government service. He retired from the United States Navy in 1989 with the rank of commander, U.S. Naval Reserve, and from the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, in 2002 as the assistant director of staff attorneys. He is a ranger at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, and he writes a column for the Delta Sierran, a publication of the Sierra Club.
