Description
19th century engraving of Saint Vincent speaking on behalf of the galley slaves in the French city of Marseille. Saint Vincent became Chaplain-General of the Galleys in 1622, while working for the General of the Galleys of France, Philippe-Emmanuel de Gondi.
Vincent ministered to the galley slaves, and attempted to convert the Muslims and Protestants. At the same time, he instituted important reforms in relation to how these men were treated, regardless of their faith, and set about building a hospital in Marseille to treat the galley slaves.
