Product description

It took a women of the statue of Mary Theresa Ledochowska, lady-in waiting at the court of Tuscany, to answer the call of Cardinal Lavigerie for concerted action against the continuing slave trade in Africa. Alone and without financial resources, she launched a work that was totally dedicated to the service of that continent. She died in 1922 after a lifetime working to raise awareness of poverty in Sub Saharan Africa.

Mary Ledochowska was beatified in 1975.

Publsihed 1992, originally published in French in 1975.
