Paulist Fathers

Paulist Fathers A missionary society of Catholic priests sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ Paulists do not condemn culture, nor do they try to conform the Gospel to it.
(1)

The Paulists seek to meet the contemporary culture on its own terms, to present the Gospel message in ways that are compelling but not diluted, so that the fullness of the Catholic faith may lead others to find Christ's deep peace and "unreachable quietness." Rather, we preach the Gospel in new ways and in new forms, so that the deep spiritual longings of the culture might find fulfillment in Jesu

s Christ. To this end, Paulists use printing presses, movie cameras, and the Internet to give voice to the words of Christ - the Word Himself - to a new generation of Americans. The founder of the Paulists, Servant of God Isaac Hecker, was a spiritual seeker, a wandering soul. He lived for a time in Transcendentalist Utopian communities where he consulted the leading thinkers of his day. Though a seeker, he became a man of conviction: once he found the truth in the Catholic Church, he gave his whole life to it. His only desire was to proclaim the truth to others so that they too could find their true selves as North American Catholics. Today our Paulist family grows, joined by Associates and lay collaborators in foundations throughout North America. The vision of Hecker – through our hearts and voices – is at work in the Spirit to:

* Seek out those who desire healing and reconciliation,
* work toward Christian unity and dialogue with faiths outside our tradition
* in parishes, on the campus, through video and publishing

Today, a large group of the Paulist Fathers will gather for our quadrennial General Assembly at a retreat center on Long Island, NY.

The assembly may last until June 12.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide their discernment and decisions regarding our community and missionary work for the next four years.

Fortified by your prayers, this gathering can help the Paulists grow in personal sanctity and in zeal to cultivate pastoral ministries that serve as a source of spiritual strength, community, and welcome – particularly for those who are outside the Church.
