In celebration of the Peterborough Diocesan 125th Anniversary, Kawartha Ancestral Research Association Inc (KARA) is pleased to offer two books for sale.
Many Parishes – One Community is a retrospective review of the history of the Diocese from the first parishioners, the Peter Robinson Settlers to present day. This book is available on a pre-order basis for $35.00.
The second book offered, also on a pre-order basis, is a limited reprint of Edgar J. Boland’s 1976 history of the Diocese – From the Pioneers to The Seventies. This reprinting in soft cover, 8 x 11 format, includes an index which was not available in the earlier edition of the book.
On July 11, 2007 KARA will be participating in the celebrations with a display set up in the Stone School across from the Cathedral at the corner of Hunter and Rubidge Streets, from 1:00 to 9:30 pm. The display will include many interesting books and pictures relevant to the history of local communities throughout the Diocese.
Also included will be a computer-run slide show on Catholic Churches of the region.
Order forms are available at the entrance to the church. Copies of pre-ordered books may be picked up at the KARA display on July 11, 2007 or afterwards from the Kara Office, 926 High Street, Peterborough. Arrangements to have it delivered by mail can also be made on the order form. Please let the Kara Office (705-743-7668) know as soon as possible as the books must be ordered by the end of April.
