Description
White Wings of Mercy commemorates the universal symbol of charity, a white head piece called a cornette, worn by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul for 279 years from the founding of the Community to its retirement in 1964. As we trace the history of the Community during those years, we find extraordinary women who ventured into every kind of environment and every corner of the earth to serve persons who are poor, destitute, marginal, in need of health, medical, educational, and other kinds of services. This was and is the vocation of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Predominantly told by pictures, paintings, and photographs, White Wings of Mercy takes the reader on a journey of faith, hope, and charity.
