The Daughters of Charity of St Vincent De Paul in Ireland the Early Years

The Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul in Ireland: The Early Years is a collection of essays that recount the early foundations of the Daughters of Charity in Ireland, their innovative work at national and local level and the spirit which has inspired them. It gives an account of generations of women who lived a life of charity faithful to the spirit of their founders, Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac, embracing the poor as 'their Lords and Masters'. Beginnings were invariably small, usually without public fanfare and in most cases could be described as brave - if not foolhardy.
