Clear Vision: The Life and Legacy of Noel Clear

As an indefatigable champion of the marginalized and dispossessed, Noel Clear was the very embodiment of Christ's commandment to 'love one another'. Best known for his innovative stewardship of the Society of St Vincent de Paul, where he served as Ireland's national president from 1996 until 2002, Noel's commitment to helping improve the lot of the poor and vulnerable informed every aspect of his life until his untimely death, aged just sixty-five, in 2003. Here, Jeffers pays tribute to this remarkable, self-effacing figure and explores the many facets of Noel's character as campaigner, humanitarian and devoted family man. Featuring first-person testimonies, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of a man who dedicated his life to others and whose legacy will inspire all who share in it.
