Damian Lundy, Michael Hollings

For our Life is but a Song - a biography of Damian Lundy FSC By Benet Conroy FSC and Gerard Rummery FSC

This is a lively biography of Damian Lundy, the De la Salle brother whose life and achievements make inspirational reading. He was a keen promoter of liturgical renewal and of helping people live the new insights that poured out of Vatican II. Damian is one of the most attractive Catholic characters of recent times. He was a man of prayer and creative activity - a teacher, co-founder of the St Cassian Retreat Centre for young people at Kintbury, advocate or more effective catechesis, author and writer of hymns.

The book contains personal recollections from many friends and is full of insights into the excitement and challenges of the first years after Vatican II as seen through the life of one of its most dedicated and talented champions. Illustrated: colour & black and white photographs.
