I am very pleased to announce a newly released article in the National Catholic Register, "The Unsung Catholic Sisters Who Care for Abandoned Children," by Patti Armstrong (Author, Journalist, TV Talk Show Host) on our film's Board Of Advisors, highlighting my book and upcoming movie.

She mentions in her wonderful story about these incredible women, my book, "Did I Ever Thank You, Sister" and the upcoming film on my book, "House of the Lion" which tells the story of how the Sisters took me in at the Guardian Angel Home Orphanage in Joliet, IL back in the 1960’s and what a positive influence they have had on my entire life. I am grateful to the Sisters.

Thank you for reading,
Sal
