MONTHLY INTENTION

"It is necessary using rapid and effective means to form a mentality that is closer to Christianity, or better, to Catholicism" (SP (1949) Let us pray for our brothers and sisters of the Pauline Family in Israel, Italy, Kenya, Macau, Madagascar, Malaysia.

From Father Tom: This quote from the Founder--decades old--shows thinking far ahead of his time. In 1949 the Church, if I recall properly, was riding high: vocations, missions and one of the truly great Pope in the Vatican--Pius XII.  Alberione was less confident--his own reading and his contacts with the learned Canon Chiesa painted a less rosy picture.

Girolamo Sgambettera IJP (1999)--Sr. Rosalia Ciccarello FSP (2002)--Sr. M. Giovanna Grandi FSP (2003)--Sr. M. Fiorentina Cecconi PD (2006)--Sr. M. Alfonsina Anzalone FSP (2006)--Fr.
