In 2004, Louie Verrecchio founded Salve Regina Publications with little more than a desk in his living room, devotion to Our Lady, and a passionate desire to help ordinary Catholics rise above all of the confusion and misinformation to discover for themselves what the Second Vatican Council truly taught.
Since then, the Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II Faith Formation Series has helped countless individuals in homes and parishes across the United States and in places as diverse as Great Britain, Australia and Singapore understand the authentic teachings of Vatican II; exploring the Council documents by the light of sacred Tradition – or as Pope Benedict XVI says, “with an interpretation of continuity and authentic reform.”
One of the only faith formation tools of its kind, Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II bears the Imprimatur * of His Excellency Edwin F. O’Brien – Archbishop of Baltimore, and has been enthusiastically endorsed by an international lineup of highly regarded individuals like George Cardinal Pell and others [link to testimonials] as an excellent resource for both individuals and members of study groups.
Highlights include:

• The official English translation of each Council document explored is reproduced within by permission of the Holy See – Vatican Library © Libreria Editrice Vaticana.
•  Each lessons includes insightful commentary into the Council, drawing the readers attention to key teachings that are often misunderstood
• Sacred Scripture and Catechism references are often used as guideposts to keep participants on the sure path to truth
• Spiritual application exercises allow participants to consider how best to apply the teachings of the Council in a concrete way
• Reliable Suggested Responses allows facilitators (no teachers necessary!) to easily lead small group discussions
• Can be approached as either “study” or “reading” material – offers a “no pressure” entrance into the Council for Catholics of varying backgrounds
