A NEW BOOK THAT GIVES BACK TO ST. HELENA’S

St. Helena's '67 grad Mary Lou Finlayson Quinlan is an author who remembers where she came from. Her newest book about growing up as the daughter of a woman with tremendous faith and empathy comes out next month just in time for Mother's Day. Her parents Mary and Ray Finlayson, her brother Jack, and the early years in Olney and at St. Helena's are part of this family love story about learning to let go.

Mary Lou intends to donate her proceeds from the book sales to cancer causes starting in Philadelphia. She is also planning an additional special event where books sold by St Helena's will benefit the school fund. And, if you order a book on Amazon.com, please write to her at MaryLou@theGodBoxproject.com to tell her you did, and she will send five dollars per book to St. Helena's.
