The Immaculate Conception in the Life of the Church

Publish at least one book a year with solid Catholic teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary.

That's the goal of Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, who was ordained a Marian priest in May 2003 and has completed his STL in Mariology.

In 2004, Fr. Donald edited his first book, The Immaculate Conception in the Life of the Church. This collection of essays came from a symposium on the Immaculate Conception for the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma.

When Fr. Donald started this whole process of book production, he saw what an undertaking it was. Add to that his responsibilities of House Superior, Vocation Director, and Postulant Director. Early on, he also was defending his thesis.

"But I don't mind," he says. "It sounds like a lot — and it is, trust me! But not too much. When you pray, and when you know that you only have one life to live, you realize that if you're going to have sleepless nights, why not do it for God? And why not just go all out?"

Remembering his own conversion, Fr. Donald pointed out that there are many foolish things that a person will stay up late for. "With the passion that I once pursued the things of the world, now that's going to be used for good: for God and for Our Lady."
