There is no better way to understand the history and spirituality of the Daughters of Charity than to learn about the life and thought of St Vincent and of those who have followed the path he marked out. There are various books and pamphlets available which can help here.

book1The Spirit of St. Vincent de Paul
by Fr. Jim Mc Cormack C.M.

This booklet was commissioned by the Daughters of Charity of the Irish province. It is an insightful account of the life and spirit of St. Vincent de Paul and is readily accessible to a wide readership. It offers new and fresh perspectives on his life and work. One of the most interesting features of the booklet is the way in which it offers an interpretation of VincentÂ’s life which we can apply to the contemporary context of the 21st Century.
