| Summary |
Father O'Malley is a young priest. He is new to an established but financially flailing parish. When his philosophies on how to relieve the parish's financial troubles come into conflict with those of crumudgeonly Father Fitzgibbon, the result is a timeless story of patience, compromise and understanding. |
