Our exhibit, Celebrating the Legacy of Vincent de Paul, is now open and will be on display through October 15. If you are in the Emmitsburg area, feel free to stop by. Exhibits are free and open to the public on Wednesday afternoons from 1PM to 4:30 PM.

Vincent’s legacy lives on in the many ministries established by the Daughters of Charity which bear Vincent’s name, either as “St. Vincent” or as “DePaul”. Seen here are photos and objects connected with some of these ministries. These items and many more will be on display from September 25 through October 15 in our exhibit, Celebrating the Legacy of St. Vincent de Paul.

In honor of Vincent de Paul’s feast day on September 27, the Provincial Archives has mounted a new exhibit which will be on display from September 25 through October 15. The exhibit, titled Celebrating the Legacy of St. Vincent de Paul, recalls, through books, manuscripts, photographs, artifacts, and art, the life of St. Vincent and the work of the Daughters of Charity in carrying out his special charism of service to the poor.

One of the items on display is the drawing seen here, done by Sister Ellen LaCapria, D.C. Vincent de Paul’s face is made up of many smaller drawings showing faces of the poor Vincent calls us to serve.

The exhibit is free and open to the public on Wednesdays from 1 PM to 4:30 PM.
