The Province’s annual meeting for its book center managers and supervisors recently took place in Città Regina, Sao Paulo. The event, which was marked by reflection and analysis of the current state of our book centers, culminated in the drafting of a plan of action for 2017-2019. Everything unfolded in an amicable atmosphere in which the participants shared their ideas concerning the challenges they are facing and their hopes for the future.

Guided by Sr. Joan T. Puntel, fsp, the group reflected on the theme, Openness to New Paradigms for a Correct Pauline Evangelization.

Sr. Maria Antonieta Bruscato, Provincial Superior, underscored the importance of communication, communion and co-responsibility, saying that these values should guide our book center staffs in their daily work.

The meeting ended with the proposal of seven “secrets of success” for the book center apostolate:

  • to think globally and act locally;
  • to act responsibly and ethically;
  • to be hospitable toward every client;
  • to offer clients assistance;
  • to be familiar with our publications;
  • to know and give preference to our Pauline products.

The encounter concluded with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Fr. Zezinho, scj, who urged our sisters to continue the Pauline book center’s mission of evangelization with steadfastness, courage and wisdom.
