The novena to Jesus master way, truth and life, was one of the awaited activities of the Pauline family all over the world.

This was also the occasion for the renewal of the promise of (APC-FDM) as lay collaborators of the Disciples of the Divine Master (PDDM). Witnessed by their families, relatives, friends and the Pauline community, it was an experience that moved them to do their respective tasks despite the many trials they experience. Kudos to the Pauline family with the intercession of the founder Blessed Fr. James Alberione, St. Paul the Apostle and Divine Master Jesus the way, truth and life! (Marietta Comighud | OMPH SoCCom)
