Daughters of St Paul
(FSP), founded for women on June 15, 1915
in Alba . The Daughters of St. Paul are
women religious, consecrated to announce the
Gospel with the new forms of communication. In
some parts of the world, they are called "Paulines."
It is from St. Paul that they take their name,
and it is from him that they learn what it means
to live for God, love the Gospel, open oneself
to all people. Like Paul, they are bold enough
to work in the newest situations, and in our
day, that is precisely the world of social
communication. In the footsteps of Paul, the
Daughters of St. Paul make known and live Christ
the Master, Way, Truth and Life.
Blessed James Alberione said, "If people don't go
to church, we must transform the places where they
do go into churches." Wherever people are in their
life; whatever they are suffering or rejoicing over;
however the experiences of life have found them—they
need the touch of God through his Word. They need
wherever they are to become a church, a
place where they can encounter God and his love for
them. The mission of the Daughters of St. Paul is to
bring together the thirst of God for love and the
thirst of their brothers and sisters for meaning and
life.
The fire Jesus came to set on the earth is
blazing. Like Jesus we also can say, “How we wish it
were blazing everywhere and in every heart!”
Multiplying his words, his voice, his presence on
the earth through the media, our vision of
communication is that of Jesus, the Word
made flesh, who so long ago and still today comes
and communicates the life, the truth, and the way of
the Kingdom through the gift of himself–and does so
also through us.
The centre of
their existence, conforming their lives to his
is in total dedication to the Gospel. The
Daughters of St. Paul are part of the Pauline
Family, born in the heart of Father James
Alberione who, taken up with the desire to
"make himself all things to everyone," gave life
to five congreagtions, four aggregated
Institutes, and the associationof Pauline
Cooperatiors.
