Today, August 20, we joyfully celebrate the 112𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹! 🎉📖

On this day in 1914, in Alba, Italy, Blessed James Alberione, moved by the abundantes divitiæ gratiæ suæ (the boundless riches of His grace), established our congregation with a singular vision: Sanctity and Apostolate Through the Good Press. For 112 years, our mission has remained clear and urgent: 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿—𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲. What began humbly as a small typographical school has, by the grace of God, grown into a worldwide mission to spread the Gospel using the press, cinema, radio, and all modern means of communication.

As our Founder beautifully reminded us, we must look not at the unworthy instruments, but at the Lord who works marvels. Today, our hearts are filled with profound thanksgiving to the Divine Master for His continuous light and guidance.

We entrust our mission to the intercession of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, and our father St. Paul, that we may continually make known Jesus Christ in His doctrine, in His morals, and in His grace to all of humanity. 🙏✨

"To God the glory, to us the peace." Join us in prayer today as we continue to write the Gospel with the media of our times!

112 Years of Grace. 112 Years of Mission.

From a humble printing school to a mission reaching hearts through every medium, we continue to proclaim Christ through words, images, and every means of communication.

With grateful hearts, we remember the past; with hopeful hearts, we embrace the future.

May every message lead hearts to Christ.
For the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
