Theme "Gateways to the Gospel”

Celebrating the Call to Holiness and Mission

The Pauline Cooperators associated to the Daughters of St. Paul as a lay association in the Church and the Pauline Family, will hold their annual National Conference in St Louis. This year’s theme is Gateways to the Gospel.
 
The Pauline Cooperators were founded in 1918 by the founder of the Pauline Family, Blessed James Alberione who said that “our mission begins and ends in Jesus Christ who ‘went to all the cities and towns preaching the gospel of the kingdom.’ We give the same message, that of salvation; we are moved by the same motive, love; we present and adapt the message according to each person’s needs; we are sustained by Jesus Master’s example and grace.”

Pauline Cooperators join Pauline Priests, Brothers, Sisters and Lay Consecrated Paulines throughout the world in answering the call to be new Apostles renewing today’s society and culture with, in and through Jesus Christ.

The Conference will be attended by Pauline Cooperators throughout the United States and Canada coming together for a weekend of prayer through the Liturgy of the Eucharist, Eucharistic Adoration and Liturgy of the Hours.

Presentations will be: Gospel Theology for Creative Artists (Sr Anne Joan Flanagan, Chicago) Media as Gateway for the Gospel (Fr. Jeffrey Mickler, S.S.P., S.T.D., Canfield, OH) Mary Gateway for the Gospel. (Sr Marianne Lorraine Trouve, Boston) A movie night on Saturday at 7 PM, presented by co-author of the Movie Lectionary, Sr. Rose Pacatte (Los Angeles), will be followed by a sharing (Lectio Divina) on the Sunday scripture readings.

Society of St Paul priest Fr. Jeffrey Mickler will serve as chaplain for the weekend.

The weekend is open to all who are interested in evangelization with the means of communication and deepening their relationship with God. For more information send an e-mail to Sr. Margaret Kerry mkerry@paulinemedia.com or call the Pauline Books & Media center on Watson Road 314-965-3521; you can also visit the Pauline Cooperators web site.
