December 15, 2019-Book Discussion Death Comes to the Archbishop by Willa Cather Prepare for this session by reading Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather. The story is based on the life and career of Jean-Baptiste Lamy, a French Roman Catholic priest who served as the first Archbishop of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Notably, he also had an Ohio connection, serving as pastor of St. Luke parish in Danville, Ohio prior to traveling to New Mexico. The story takes place in the late 19th century and presents the struggles of dealing with spreading the faith throughout the southwest, dealing with rebellious priests, and building a church.

Barbara Fink and Angela Baumann will lead the discussion and include photographs from their recent road trips through the southwest.
