Determined and with no small amount of courage, with the largest heart and perseverance beyond compare, he would bring a piercing ray of hope into the dark world of the neglected sons of the Minnesota lumber camps and change their lives forever. This is the true story of Frank Higgins, and the birth of the largest parish known to man: The Parish of the Pines.
