ACEITAÇÕES E ADAPTAÇÕES DAS FILHAS DE CARIDADE DE SÃO VICENTE DE PAULO À CULTURA MINEIRA NO SÉCULO XIX

Abstract

This paper intends to work with the correspondence between the first superior of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of Mariana (MG) and the seat of the congregation in Paris. Through this correspondence you can see the path taken by the twelve sisters from Paris to the place of destination. Impressions along the way demonstrate the cultural differences between the Vincentian people and places as they went. Although they maintain the orientation of organizational culture for the good performance of the work, had to undergo some changes to be accepted in Minas Gerais. Exemplifies the adaptation by teaching piano and acceptance when they were no longer tormented by ticks. It can be seen as the strengthening of the Vincentian Sisters was linked to its principles of cultural adaptation to the wishes of the mining families in the second half of the nineteenth century.
