“In these pages you will gain insight into the life of a man who was faithful, whom many in his own time called a “saint” …. you will encounter a human being not unlike ourselves meeting the challenges to be holy and to be strong in the face of some extraordinarily difficult circumstances, not unlike our own.”
From the Preface by
Justin Cardinal Rigali
Archbishop of Philadelphia
This important work chronicles the life and journey, in his own words, of the Vincentian missionary Felix De Andreis, from his native Italy to the far reaches of frontier America. Well-illustrated and exhaustively researched and annotated, this volume documents in detail the arrival of the Vincentians in the United States and paints a vivid picture of our nation in its very infancy. A remarkable history, and a most compelling read.
