Church Fathers

[jessm23]

I’m a Core Team member for my parish’s Life Teen high school ministry program. One of my outgoing seniors recently expressed to me a desire to read the Church Fathers so that she can learn more about what the early Church was like, including from an apologetics viewpoint. I’d like to refer her to a good translation and collection so that she can get the best, most complete experience and knowledge. Any (name removed by moderator)ut people have had would be very appreciated! Thank you!
