Description

The first in a new CTS series focusing on saints and blesseds and other holy people who found their vocation in a secular profession, Holy Nurses tells the remarkable stories of nine modern women whose faith led them to become qualified nurses and to offer their expert care to people experiencing tremendous suffering through infirmity, sickness or war and conflict. Some women plied their skills with quiet, simple devotion, but in some dramatic cases, the Catholic nurses accepted danger, injury, assault, and even death in order to practice their skills where they were most needed.

Dr Gosia Brykczyńska, herself a nurse, teacher of nurses, and the current European President of CICIAMS (International Association of Catholic Nurses), tells these remarkable stories in a way that highlights the vocational aspects of the nursing profession and the virtues of the holy nurses for whom nursing was a road to Christ.
