A Life of Father Carl Matthews SJ, Jesuit in the Legislative Gallery now adds to this growing list. Michael Power narrates the historical biography through Matthew’s eyes and recollections by utilizing his personal papers, debates from the Legislature of Ontario, and numerous articles edited and written by Matthews for Catholic and OECTA publications. From these sources we meet a man who is extremely well-versed in Catholic school history and who was a pioneer in collecting and analyzing facts and statistics on Catholic schools.
