Description
In 1871, as Ireland struggled to recover from the darkest chapter of its history, a young woman, Visitation Clancy, established a congregation of religious sisters to cater for the needy in Wexford. This book chronicles the history of the Institute she began, the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint John of God - where it is and how it got there. It offers at once an important social history and a portrait of a changing Church. - from Amzon
