“Spiritual Direction is very useful;
it is a source of advice when in difficulties,
of help when discouraged,
of safety when tempted
and of strength when overwhelmed;
finally, it is a source of benefit and consolation when the director is really charitable, prudent and experienced.”
St. Vincent de Paul
The Vincentian Community is aware of a recent newspaper article that makes reference to two Vincentian priests who were teachers in St Paul’s College and St Vincent’s Castleknock College in the past.
