Michael J. Phelan

Michael J. Phelan is credited as the author of The Young Priest's Keepsake, a religious work that has been cataloged by Project Gutenberg and Open Library. The available records also identify him as “Michael J. Phelan, S.J.,” indicating that he was a Jesuit priest.

Reliable biographical details beyond that are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe him through his work rather than speculate about his life story. His best-known book is aimed at young priests and suggests a practical, encouraging concern with priestly formation, education, and conduct.
