Saint Columban

This reprint of the 1927 edition stands as a profound spiritual legacy from the Missionary Society of St. Columban-founded in 1916 by Irish priests to revive the peregrinatio pro Christo (exile for Christ) of the ancient Celtic monks. Printed at the time by the Society's own Columban Press in Ireland, it is no mere reprint but a deliberate act of devotion: a compact, fervent biography of the great Irish abbot, tailored for missionaries, oblates, and all who cherish the pre-Vatican 11 vision of monastic zeal as the bulwark against secular decay. It distills Montalembert's magisterial French original into an accessible yet exalted English volume. 280 pages. Author: The Count of Montalembert Year: 1927
