Signs of Our Time
Episode 20 - Father Thomas Frederick Price and the Nazareth Orphanage
We pass by many historical markers without realizing the piece of history commemorated on it. We might even read the marker but miss even more information. Such is the marker in Willmington, North Carolina dedicated to Father Thomas Frederick Price. It notes his efforts with the Maryknoll Priesthood. But to me, there's an even greater story behind the story. I share that in this episode. It is one that impacted me as a child and continues to be a major part of my life.
I invite you to join me in the story behind the story of a major accomplishment of Father Thomas Frederick Price.
I invite you to share this podcast with others. If you have interesting stories about historical markers you've discovered, or perhaps are in your area, please email me at: americanhistoricalmarkers@gmail.com.
