[Ronald DCosta (Class of 1964 Loyola School, Jamshedpur) is organising the launch of the book titled "Once upon a time" written by Father Hess. The book will be launched on the 8th of July at TMDC auditorium in Jamshedpur at 5 pm]
This is the story of a young boy born in the early nineteen twenties in New Jersey, to a devout Catholic family. His father's business of manufacturing bulbs failed and they moved to Washington D.C. which was the turning point for young George. Being intelligent, he won a scholarship in 1933 to Gonzaga College, a Jesuit school, and three years later, at the age of thirteen, was convinced that he wanted to become a Catholic priest.
