Hey, media/entertainment professionals!

We had a marvelous Media Apostle retreat on the East Coast, so join us for the one in Malibu in January 3-5, 2025!

The MEDIA APOSTLE RETREAT is guided by the Daughters of Saint Paul who live out their charism by proclaiming the Gospel in and through the media. We intentionally pray for all media and entertainment professionals around the world!

The retreat is at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu January 3-5, 2025 and the theme is "Incarnating Christ in Life and Work."

For more info and to register, go to: connect.pauline.org/MediaApostle

Because of the important work you do, this retreat can rejuvenate your life and creativity! Join in prayer and community with other mission-minded media and entertainment professionals. Hear powerful and inspiring messages from speakers about what it means to live out your witness in the media culture.

Take time to pray, to dream, to discern God’s plans for your life, and to be strengthened for your calling. God wants to bless you with a time of grace and enrichment!

The live streaming of the sacred oratorio of the Sister Disciples of the Divine Master in honor of their 100th anniversary of founding. This musical mystical experience is inspired by the life of their first "mother" Venerable Scholastica Rivata, 1897 - 1987.

Congratulations. Starts about 15 minutes in.

Mark your calendar! You can participate remotely (or in person if you are in Rome!) in the 60th anniversary Mass commemorating the death of Venerable M. Tecla Merlo, the co-foundress of the Daughters of St. Paul. It will be at the Basilica of Mary, Queen of Apostles (Regina degli Apostoli; Regina Apostolorum) here in Rome at 6:30 PM Rome time. My lose translation of the quote from M. Tecla is: "Let us have more and more trust in Jesus (our) Teacher. We are his disciples. He desires to save us."
