ROME, AUG. 31, 2007 (Zenit.org).- The blue-robed sisters known for their bookstores and publishing houses are gathered on the outskirts of Rome to study evangelization in the world of modern communications.
The Daughters of St. Paul, the women religious behind Pauline Books and Media, opened their general chapter on Wednesday. Seventy-one religious are taking part in the meeting.
According to a communiqué sent to ZENIT, “during their general chapter, the Daughters of St. Paul will study the responsibility of evangelizing in the complex and difficult reality of communications today; how to reach the poorest of the poor with God’s word; how to increase collaborations with the laity; how to qualify relationships in a family spirit; how to give a soul to communications.”
The women religious will also elect their next governor-general and determine the priorities of apostolic action for the next six years.
The women religious have opened various new centers in the last 10 years. They are located in four countries in Eastern Europe, two in Latin America, five in Africa and two in Asia, the most recent in Vietnam. There are also foundations being set up in southern Sudan and Indonesia.
They have 261 young people in formation.

I know, it is pretty awesome. They are doing great stuff!

God Bless!
Yes, I’ve been following their general chapter proceedings daily via a special website they’ve set up for it.
They are a beautiful community, still alive and on fire for the Gospel and God’s people!
God bless you, Chelsea! You go, girl! And I certainly agree with you, Lisa. I’ve always been impressed by the Daughters of Saint Paul.
Thanks for the prayerful support, everyone. Our mother general was just reelected to another six year term. Please pray for her (Sr. Antonieta Bruscato, of Brazil) and for the still-to-be elected general council. You can also express your prayers on the Chapter site forum (
