Within the framework of redesigning our presences, the FSPs responsible for Pauline Editions in the Congo and Ivory Coast met in Kinshasa to reorganize and give new thrust to their book publishing and audiovisual departments.
After evaluating the 30-year journey of our publishing house in this part of the world, and after analyzing the socio-politico-cultural situations of their respective countries, the sisters drew up a general 5-year publishing plan and a more detailed year-long plan to implement in the near future.
With regard to content, the themes they decided to focus on are those proposed by the Second Synod of Bishops for Africa and reaffirmed by the FSP circumscription governments during their meeting in Nairobi, Kenya last November: catechesis, woman, and the social doctrine of the Church.
This is because in these two African nations, our audiences are primarily families (in which woman is the foundation), young people and opinion leaders.
