Katie Bogner’s Latest Book

Congratulations to St. Philomena School’s junior high faith formation teacher, Miss Katie Bogner, on publishing her latest book: We Have a Pope.

 Said Katie in an interview for The Catholic Post in March 2024, “One thing that I didn’t plan but that became quite evident during the writing (and then later the illustrating process) is that rather than the pope, the “main character” of this book actually ended up being the Holy Spirit.”

Katie continued, “We wanted to show that the Holy Spirit has been guiding the Church for 2000 years and will continue until the end of time. We shared this by including a Holy Spirit dove on almost every page spread. The dove flies over the nearly empty St. Peter’s Square, leads the Cardinals into the Sistine Chapel, sits on the shoulder of the Cardinal Elector, and waits on the chapel roof for the sight of white smoke.”
