Product Overview
The inspiring true story of St. Vicenta who gave up a life of privilege and education, refused an arranged marriage, and devoted her life to serve vulnerable and marginalized women, including servant girls often abused by their employers.
Though rejected by most of her family, but with the strong support of a generous aunt, she established a group of ladies dedicated to ministering to these neglected women, eventually becoming her new religious order, the Daughters of Mary Immaculate for Domestic Service. She accomplished many heroic works of charity in her short 43 years, dying in 1890 and canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1975. Today her order serves vulnerable women in many nations worldwide.
“St. Vicenta Maria felt the imperative call of charity through service to vulnerable women, especially young women, in need of religious care, social assistance, and authentic Christian love. A task that also constitutes an important demand of us in the modern world. Let us strive to imitate her example of evangelical perfection centered on charity and nourished by Eucharistic adoration and devotion to the Blessed Virgin.”
-Pope Paul VI
