Alberione’s Opera Omnia.

FSP Pauline Cooperators Sector
The FSP Pauline Cooperators Sector promotes the vocation and formation of the Cooperators who have the Daughters of St. Paul as their point of reference. The aim of the Sector is to study more profoundly the thought of the Founder concerning the vocation of the laity and to ensure that our circumscriptions implement the lines of action sketched out in the Formation Project for the Cooperators. In addition, the Sector facilitates and supports communication and a sharing of experiences among the various FSP Cooperator groups, provides them with texts on the charism and on the teachings of the Church that focus on the identity of the cooperator, and favors the exchange of other study aids.
