June 23, 2025Categories: Colleague Corner
Michael Rogers, PhD, STL, Mission Leader, Hartford and Springfield Markets, Trinity Health Of New England, recently published a book titled, Many Paths with Mary: Popular Piety and the Future Church. The book explores how Mary, the Mother of God, is understood in different times and places. It shares some of the ways in which the Holy Spirit speaks through the people of God in different cultures and amid ruptures in society.
The recently published book by Michael Rogers, Mission Leader in Hartford and Springfield, explores how Mary is understood in different times and places.
Rogers explains that the book is based on his PhD dissertation. “On a whim, when I finished my dissertation, I sent Orbis Books a chapter and asked if they’d be interested in publishing this. The editor said, absolutely, yes!”
“I’ve given the book to the Archbishop of Hartford, and the Bishop of Springfield. And to my understanding, Orbis Books is gifting this book, along with several others, to Pope Leo in the coming weeks,” reflected Rogers.
The book was published earlier this year by Orbis Books. To learn more click on this link: Many Paths with Mary: Popular Piety and the Future Church – Orbis Books.
Rogers earned his PhD from the University of Toronto and holds degrees from the College of the Holy Cross, Saint Louis University and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He joined Trinity Health Of New England in 2023 as a Mission Integration Consultant.
