This second volume begins with the dawn of the eighteenth century, and relates how the Congregation of the Mission, founded by St. Vincent de Paul, worked to remain faithful to his vision while adapting itself to the demands of ecclesiastical and political life in France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Portugal, overseas missions in North Africa and the Mascarenes, as well as the missions taken up after the suppression of the Jesuits in the Middle East and China. Among other problems, the Missioners found themselves in the middle of fights over Jansenism, but tempered by the success of the canonization of Saint Vincent de Paul. This is an important, down-to-earth side of history not often told.

This is the fourth and final volume of the translation of Father Waclaw Kruszka's history of the Poles in the United States. Concentrating on the Polish settlements in the central states - Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas - and the far western states, Kruszka continues his study of the largest Slavic group of the turn-of-the-century immigration. The volume includes an extensive index of all volumes in the series.
