Albert H. Dolan

Albert Harold Dolan O.Carm (July 1, 1892 – January 22, 1951) was an American Catholic priest of the Carmelite order, the author of many popular books, and a prominent as well as early promoter of devotion to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, especially in the United States and Canada.

[3] Father Dolan spent the majority of his time at St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church in Englewood, New Jersey.

A significant part of Dolan's life after he entered the Carmelite order focused on fostering devotion to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as "The Little Flower."

"[4] In 1923, while teaching public speaking and English at Mount Carmel College in Chicago, Dolan founded the Society of the Little Flower.

The man appeared to be trying to collect money supposedly for Mass intentions and he would sometimes bring copies of Dolan's books with him which he would autograph for the nuns.
