Frederic Baraga was an adventurous little boy in Slovakia who grew up to be a priest and the first Bishop of Michigan's Upper Peninsula - they called him the Snowshoe Priest. Bishop Frederic Baraga was a courageous and caring man who served the Ojibwe and immigrants of Michigan and Wisconsin during the mid-1800s. The Snowshoe Priest follows Bishop Baraga's story as he journeys from his home country to the New World and treks around the wilderness of the midwest to share God's love.

Frederic Baraga, a Slovenian missionary to the Native Americans in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, who later became the first Bishop of the Diocese of Marquette, wrote Exhortations for the Holy Year of 1826. In this work, he shows his boundless love and compassion towards poor sinners. The young pastor of the souls recommends taking advantage of the Holy Year of 1826 to improve one's prayer life and to receive the sacraments more often; a Holy Year is a time of special grace. This book contains Exhortations for the Holy Year written in English, Slovenian, French, and Italian

This is the biography of Most Reverend Frederic Baraga, a missionary to the Indigenous peoples in the Upper Peninsula from 1830 to his death in 1868. It was written in 1932 by Joseph Gregorich, one of the founders of the Bishop Baraga Association. The Bishop Baraga Association was established to work towards the canonization (or sainthood) of Bishop Baraga. As Joe explained, "The aim of this book is to treat the life of Bishop Baraga in a briefer and more popular form and to refer only to those more outstanding activities of his which possess a greater degree of interest for the general reader."
