From the back cover: For twenty years, Gregory Boyle has run Homeboy Industries, a gang intervention program located in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, the gang capital of the world. In Tattoos on the Heart, he distills his experience working in the ghetto into a breathtaking series of parables inspired by faith. Arranged by theme and filled with sparkling humor and glowing generosity, these essays offer a stirring look at how full our lives could be if we could find the joy in loving others and in being loved unconditionally.
The St. Francis de Sales School will come together to read this book and apply those themes presented to daily life. It is by understanding and acceptance that our community will strengthen and grow. All students will receive a copy of this book that must be returned in August 2019. If you have not received a copy of this novel and your son is enrolled for the 2019-2020 year, please contact the main office at 419-531-1618. |
