From 15-25 October 2015, twenty-five Pauline Cooperators from all parts of Brazil made a pilgrimage to Rome, Pisa, Alba, Orvieto and Assisi, Italy. The trip, organized to celebrate the Centenary of foundation of the Daughters of St. Paul, was coordinated by Sr. Ninfa Becher, fsp, who is in charge of the Pauline Cooperators in Brazil, and guided by Sr. Maria Grazia Gabelli, fsp.
The participants were all deeply moved to be able to visit the places associated with the beginnings of the Pauline Family and its spirituality and say that the experience united them more profoundly to Blessed James Alberione and Sr. Thecla Merlo. A special moment in their program of events was a round table discussion between their group and a group of Italian Pauline Cooperators, which took place on 24 October. During the encounter, all the Cooperators expressed their enthusiasm for the Pauline charism and their gratitude to the Daughters of St. Paul.
