The First Formation Course on the Charism of the Pauline Family, organized by the Pauline Spirituality Center in Korea, was held from 1-6 October 2018. Five Daughters of St. Paul, two members of the Society of St. Paul, three Pious Disciples, a Pastorelle Sister and an Annunciationist participated in the event, as well as eight FSPs celebrating their 30th anniversary of religious profession.

The themes treated by the instructors were very timely: Fr. Rifugio Kim, ssp, presented The Letters of St. Paul, Fr. Antonio Kwon, ssp, The History of Spirituality in the Church; Professor Choi Hyun-sun of Sogang University, The History of the Church in the 19th and 20th Centuries, and Sr. Emma Min, fsp, Jesus Master, Way, Truth and Life.

The motivation to hold such a course sprang from the desire of the PF in Korea to plunge more profoundly into the historical period of the 19th and 20th centuries so as to discover what led Fr. Alberione to seek new modes of evangelization (the instruments of social communication), with particular attention to the Vatican Council II period.
