Purchase of the Week. The Vincentiana Collections at DePaul University 7/28/2014

 

This early 20th century holy card is a rare example illustrating the work of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. Two members are shown distributing bread to the poor.

The card is Czech. The Vincentiana Collections at the Archives and Special Collections of DePaul University include material culture or ephemera collections that illustrate engagement with the Vincentian tradition over almost four hundred years.
