The Confraternities of Charity
View through CrossRef
The promotion of confraternal charity was the final constituent of the Lazarist pastorate, and Chapter 9 focuses in particular on the significant personal opportunities that these vehicles of pastoral missionary care offered to de Paul. It outlines the early development of the confraternal structures, before explaining why, over time, they became the principal means through which he engaged with lay women. It then focuses on his relations with a small inner circle of consoeurs (members of the confraternity at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Paris), to affirm that their works of charity gave rise to an extremely unusual, privileged, and productive affinity that led them to make common cause with him in all spheres of the Lazarist enterprise.
