SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS: THE HEROISM OF CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS & SISTERS IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
Start Time: 7:00 PM
End Time: 8:00 PM

Speakers: Enders & Kurtz

Shortly after the Civil War ended, journalist David Power Conyngham began compiling the stories of Catholic chaplains and nuns who served during the war. His manuscript, Soldiers of the Cross, is the fullest record written during the nineteenth century of the Church's involvement in the war, as it documents the service of fourteen chaplains and six female religious communities, representing both North and South. His study contains new insights into the clergy during the war that are unavailable elsewhere, either during his time or ours, making the work invaluable.
