SOCIETY OF ST. PAUL

The Pauline priests are the first Congregation of the great Family which Father Alberione considers to be St. Paul's work, not his own: "From St. Paul it was born, by him it was nourished and raised; from him the Congegation took its spirit."

The seed sown in Alba, in August, 1914, as the "Little Workers Typographical School," grew marvelously, and the time came to buy an extensive piece of property on which to build the First House of the Congregation, so as to accommodate the many boys who had already entered.

The first duty of a Pauline priest is to be an apostle, a writer. With what spirit we hear this from Father Alberione himself: "O priest-writers, let us write after celebrating Holy Mass. Let us make ourselves channels through which the Blood of Jesus, flowing from His Heart, fills ours and, due to an overabundance, spills over into the hearts of the readers...

They are further entrusted with the particular mission of making reparation for the sins committed through the evil press and through the other means of social communication. This is accomplished through their mortified and holy life, with the practice of the hidden virtues and through the dedication of their energies in the field of the apostolate of the editions.
