PASTORAL CARE

The war to end all wars had erupted on July 28 and the guns of August were tearing apart the bodies of Europe's young. The soul of a civilization was being tested and a world was caught up in the obscenity of total war. Against this background Fr. Alberione founded a religious congregation of priests and brothers to use the media to proclaim the truth of the Gospel and the values of a Kingdom that transcended this world. It was the first in a series of foundations known as "The Pauline Family."

A Wholistic Approach to Holiness

"To live in Christ implies the total commitment

of our being and exacts an integral response that

we will seek to give in every

aspect of our life. First and foremost among

the things to be learned in the Pauline Family is

devotion to Jesus Master. This devotion embraces

the whole person; it is to be applied to

spiritual work, to sudy, to the apostolate,

to the whole religious life."

Society of St Paul Constitutions Art 10

The Pauline Family consists of the following five Religious congregations, four secular Institutes and a lay organization of cooperators.
