The Soul of a Pilgrim Translated Into Braille

The Xavier Society for the Blind in New York City recently translated Christine’s book The Soul of a Pilgrim: Eight Practices for the Journey Within into braille! Since 1900, Xavier Society for the Blind has been providing free braille, large print and audio books to blind and visually impaired people worldwide in order for them to learn about, develop, and practice their faith.

The Xavier Society has been around for 124 years and offers thousands of books available in braille and audio and serve clients of all ages and faiths, from Ireland to Australia. They are trying to serve more people in new and innovative ways during these challenging times.

We are excited to learn about their services and share this resource with the community. To learn more or request a copy please visit XavierSocietyfortheBlind.org or on Facebook or Instagram.
