Book excerpt: "Father Nugent founded many Institutions for the poor and needy in his native town of Liverpool and was instrumental in the scheme to take orphaned children to the New World to find a new home. He spearheaded the campaign to 'Save the Child' from the temptations and dangers of the streets, and he provided shelter to the marginalized and despised. He worked ecumenically with his colleagues from other churches in a town that was largely Protestant, and made education and the reform of the young his special concern for over fifty years. Much of what he pioneered still bears fruit today, and his work and name are perpetuated by the Nugent Care Society he founded in 1881 - originally the Liverpool Catholic Children's Protection Society." "This book is a timely reminder of Father James Nugent's work and his significance for us today, both for the Church and for society as a whole, setting his life in the context of his era which contained the seeds of so much that has borne fruit in our time. It is an encouragement to priests, and potential priests, in the mission of the Church today."--BOOK JACKET.
