?Open to the Future with Prophetic Creativity?: this was the theme of an animation meeting held in the Paulines Publishing House in Pasay City from 22-26 October 2010.
Sr. Natalia Maccari from the International Secretariat for the Apostolate and Sr. Teresa Marcazzan, Councilor for the Apostolate in our East Africa Delegation, guided the 5-day course, which filled the participants with fresh apostolic thrust and opened doors to new prospects for the publishing and multimedia apostolates of the Daughters of St. Paul in the Philippines.
The course, which took communications as its point of departure, was programmed as a part of the province?s efforts to redesign its apostolic activities. The sisters reflected on how St. Paul provided his co-workers with leadership in carrying out the apostolate, after which they discussed the identity (vision, objective and strategies) of the Paulines Publishing House.
Divided into three work groups, the participants then drew up a multimedia plan adapted to the constantly-changing world of communications and pinpointed three projects to implement in the future.
In conclusion: the commitment to being open to the future with prophetic creativity requires all the sisters to continually upgrade the quality of their collaboration among the different areas of the apostolate and in circulating information.
