The Daughters of St. Paul of Spain recently commemorated the 75th anniversary of our FSP presence in the Diocese of Valencia. The high point of the day was a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Auxiliary Bishop Javier Salinas, assisted by the pastor and coadjutor of the parish in which our book center is located.
The simple Mass, celebrated in a family atmosphere, was attended by the book center staff, the Pauline cooperators, members of other religious institutes and friends.
In his homily for the occasion, the bishop thanked our sisters for their very meaningful presence in the Church, for their fidelity to the Pauline mission of evangelization, and for their formative and cultural role in society. Afterward, everyone was invited to a festive meal that reinforced the strong bond of fraternity among the sisters and the other participants.
Our very best wishes to all the FSPs of Valencia and for a good continuation of their Pauline activities in Spain, spurred on by the words of Fr. Alberione: “Don’t speak only about religion. Instead, speak about everything in a Christian way!”
