From 9-10 October, the sisters in charge of Pauline publishing in Europe met in Krobkrotzenburg (Frankfurt), where, with great simplicity, they reflected together and shared ideas as to how our various communities on this continent can collaborate more concretely with one another in the publishing apostolate.
Sixteen FSPs from Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Romania, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland participated in the encounter. Also present were a General Councilor and the sister in charge of SIA, the Institute’s International Secretariat for the Apostolate.
After discussing their circumscriptions’ respective editorial procedures, problems and prospects for the future, the participants pinpointed several priorities to pursue in common:
to invest in formation;
to increase diffusion, including by studying new ways to be present on the Internet and through the new media;
to continue to hold periodic meetings for the sisters in charge of Pauline publishing in Europe so as to reflect more deeply on subjects of common interest and collaborate with one another in various ways.
These orientations could be further integrated and concretized during the Continental Meeting for the Apostolate-Economy in Europe and Quebec, Canada, to be held in Rome from 15-25 January 2012.
