He also is the author of the book Purest of All Lilies: The Virgin Mary in the Spirituality of St. Faustina (Marian Press, 2008). Currently Fr. Donald is the House Superior of the Marian House of Studies in Steubenville, OH. His radical conversion story is now shared in his latest book, No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy
