Rev. Bertrand L. CONWAY
( 1872 - 1959 )

Naisasnce le 5 mai 1872 à New York, décès le 8 décembre 1959 à New York (USA)

Father Conway is one of the great preachers of the Church of the Paulist Fathers in New York City. He is also one of the directors of the Catholic Unity League, and since 1898 he has been a Catholic Defense Lecturer for the United States and Canada. Tireless in his labors, he is as persuasive in his eloquence as he is captivating in his personal charm.

A New Yorker, born in 1872, Father Conway was educated in the public schools of the city, and after a year in City College finished his college studies in St. Charles College, Maryland, in charge of the French Sulpicians. He took his theological training at St. Thomas Seminary, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1896, after which he devoted two years to post-graduate work at the Catholic University of Washington City.

A busy writer of books, pamphlets, articles, editorials and reviews for both the American and foreign Catholic press, Father Conway has won a wide fame. Perhaps his best known book is The Question Box, which grew out of his responses to questions in his missions, over two million copies of which have been sold. Other books, such as Studies in Church History and The Virgin Birth, have passed through many editions.
