Rev. John Rybolt, C.M.
Softcover – 508 pages (2005)
Vincentian Studies Institute
"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.

| Robert Vickrey's Nun Paintings: Creatures of the Spirit |
 |
Donald Miller
Hardcover – 98 pages (2002)
Ripe Tomato Books; ISBN: 0972129405
An absolutely beautiful full-color collection of the nun paintings of celebrated American artist Robert Vickrey. A master of Lyrical Realism, Vickrey rose to prominence in the 1950s and 60s. His portraits graced the cover of Time magazine on seventy-eight occasions, and he exhibited at many major galleries including the Whitney Museum of American Art. For over fifty years, however, Vickrey has been fascinated by the subject of nuns, in particular the Daughters of Charity, their habit and the traditional cornette. Indeed, Vickrey has made them the subject of over 400 of his paintings. Produced in conjunction with an exhibition at the Wasmer Gallery of Ursuline College, Robert Vickrey's Nun Paintings: Creatures of the Spirit, presents a magnificent selection of the artist's finest work. With complimentary text by Donald Miller on the life of Robert Vickrey, his motivations, his overall importance, and his artistic bond to the Daughters of Charity and their history. Very high quality, an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
Two of the paintings in this book are visible here: Sample 1, Sample 2
