Hosanna!!!: Blessed Frederic Ozanam: Family & Friends

"HOSANNA holds a unique place among the many books written about Frederic Ozanam. Rev. Ron Ramson provides a warmly written account of a young man who in 1833 inspired his young college friends at the Sorbonne to form the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The network of charity he founded now spans the globe. "Through a series of short chapters featuring the members of Ozanam's family and his circle of friends, we meet the people who influenced and supported him. Fr. Ramson's knowledge and affection for Frederic Ozanam make this a wonderfully readable portrait of a man who deserves to be recognized as a role model for us today."
