Makati, Philippines – The Provincial governments of the Institutes of the Pauline Family in the Philippines gathered at the SSP Provincial House on 24 October 2011 to confirm the program of the Triennial Animation Journey for the the 2014 Centennary of the foundation of the Pauline Family. Present in the gathering were the superiors: Sr. Brenda N. Balingasa, SJBP (Sisters of Jesus the Good Shepherd); Sr. Ma. Gemma Victorino, PDDM (Pious Disciples of the Divine Master); Sr. Yolanda Dionisio, FSP (Daughters of Saint Paul), and Fr. Jose Aripio, SSP (Society of Saint Paul and the Pauline Institutes of Secular Consecrated Life) together with their counsellors, secretaries and bursars.
During the encounter, Fr. Mario Sobrejuanite, SSP, of the Pauline Family’s Equipe of Pauline Spirituality, echoed the talk on “Abundates Divitiae Gratiae Suae” programmed to be given in the afternoon of November 27, 2011, when the Pauline Family in the Philippines celebrates together Blessed James Alberione’s Death Anniversary. Members of the Provincial governments agreed in their discussion after the talk of Fr. Sobrejuanite to hold, in the next four years, activities at two levels: the Pauline Family common activity and the individual congregation’s initiatives starting with the revitalization of the Pauline Family’s Equipe of Pauline Spirituality and the echoing of Fr. Sobrejuanite’s talk.
The provincial superiors have also agreed to follow closely the program mapped out by the Pauline Family Equipe and its implementation.
The encounter was a venue for the four provincial governments’ social interaction as it was capped by a sumptuous lunch prepared by the Pious Disciples of Divine Master in Makati City.
