The community of the Daughters of Saint Paul in Bucharest has concluded a year-long celebration marking 30 years of Pauline apostolic presence in Romania. Thanks and praise to the Most Holy Trinity for the gift of the “pioneer” sisters, for the sisters who have enriched the community in recent years, for the superiors who have always encouraged them and for the welcome and constant support of the pastors, collaborators, and benefactors in the Pauline apostolate of evangelization.
The anniversary was solemnized in November 2023 with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by His Excellency Aurel Percă, Metropolitan Archbishop of Bucharest, in the presence of many friends of the Pauline community. One of the initiatives for the celebratory year was the creation of a Notebook with seeds of wisdom – quotes taken from the thoughts of the Blessed James Alberione and the Venerable Thecla Merlo – gifted to the collaborators, friends of the community, and to several young people whom the sisters met throughout the year.
The celebratory year concluded on Saturday, November 30, 2024, with an encounter for young people, the theme being: Young people, apostles of the Gospel in the digital world.
This privileged year was an opportunity to encourage the Daughters of Saint Paul of Romania to move forward in the footsteps of Saint Paul, to be, in the words of Blessed James Alberione, bearers of Christ: living and communicating the truth in charity, that is, the love of Christ with personal and community witness, and the specific apostolate of evangelization with the means of communication.
Our warmest wishes to these sisters of ours.
