Shortly after World War II, newly minted priest, Father Neil Boyd, arrives at St. Jude’s parish in west London to take up the post of curate under Father Duddleswell. Fr. Boyd is both amazed and scared of his boss, the housekeeper, Mrs. Pring, and the boisterous Irish immigrants that make up the congregation. Bless Me, Father is the first in a series of six books that recounts Fr. Neil’s adventures as he learns the ins and outs of being a priest.
