Time has truly flown by. Looking back at our arrival in the dead of winter in 2022, it seems almost incredible that four years have already passed. We give thanks to Jesus the Good Shepherd and to our Italy–Albania–Mozambique Province—represented by Sister Cesarina Pisanelli—for giving us the opportunity to share our lives with the sisters here in Italy. This experience has been a precious gift for us; it allowed us to get to know the "founding" sisters of our Congregation mo

From July 10 to 17, 2026, we enjoyed a wonderful camp experience alongside young people from the city of Scutari and the Diocese of Lezha. For seven years now, we—the "Pastorelle" Sisters of Scutari—have enthusiastically organized this experience for the youth of our Pastoral Center. This excellent educational and recreational opportunity is made possible thanks to the contribution of the Order of Malta’s "Malteser" organization. Children from impoverished families—both Cat

Perched among the majestic peaks of Pollino National Park, overlooking the Ionian Sea like a natural balcony, lies a place where time seems to slow down to make room for what truly matters: Alessandria del Carretto. It was in this tiny, welcoming village in the province of Cosenza—home to just over 300 inhabitants—that I spent six wonderful days. It was an experience I carry in my heart, filled with joy, gratitude, and a deep sense of communion. It all began with a special

Celebrating eightieth anniversary of religious profession of Mother Celina and Sister Maria Pia De Luca on the feast of the Most Holy Trinity was not a mere coincidence, but a shining sign of God's plan. The Trinity is the mystery of Love-Communion that gives itself unreservedly, and our two sisters—one a hundred years old and the other ninety-eight—have become, in eight decades of consecrated life, a living reflection of this Love that never runs out. The Eucharistic Celebra

They say to trust in the Holy Spirit when you're at a loss for ideas. We rely on prayer so that He can come to our aid... but for us, it's different. At the Youth Group of St. John the Apostle, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, manifests himself with those "tongues of fire," supporting every new project. For this year's spiritual and educational journey, we reflected at length on the colors each of us would attribute to the Gospel: from white, the color of candor and purity, to

Novena in preparation for the Feast of Jesus Good Shepherd 2026

Let us become integrated communities for the mission In the joy of Christmas, on the evening of the feast of St. Stephen (Friday, December 26, 2025), we gathered in Ariccia, convened for the extended Council. Three demanding days, immersed in the greenery of the Casa Divin Maestro. The Extended Council is the "participatory body" envisioned by our Rule of Life as a valuable opportunity to meaningfully exercise co-responsibility in the Province's journey. These days are marked

On December 20th, as Juniors of the Pauline Family present in Rome, along with our formators, we met to experience and celebrate the joy of Christmas together. The meeting took place at the general community of the Society of St. Paul, on Via Alessandro Severo, and was a significant moment of communion, fraternity, and formation. Members of the various Congregations of the Pauline Family were present: the Society of St. Paul, the Daughters of St. Paul, the Pious Disciples, th

If we want to represent Jesus' lifestyle with an image, we have no difficulty finding it: Jesus himself offers it to us, speaking of himself as the Good Shepherd, the one who—he says—"lays down his life for the sheep" (Jn 10:11). This is Jesus. Indeed, being a shepherd wasn't just a job, requiring time and much commitment; it was a true way of life: twenty-four hours a day, living with the flock, accompanying it to pasture, sleeping among the sheep, caring for the weakest. Je

Led by Father Ivo Seghedoni, parish priest and professor of Pastoral Theology "Parish" or "Generative Community"? From September 22nd to 24th, we gathered in Albano for our annual training meeting. With the help of Father Ivo, parish priest and professor of Pastoral Theology, this year too, we treated ourselves to two days of study and reflection on the reality of the Church, not exempt from the epochal change currently underway. Within this reality, we want to play a leading

Every year, at the beginning of the 10th month, on the 7th of the month, to remain in the biblical style of indicating an important date, the heart of every Pastorella fills with a profound and grateful joy: the dies natalis of our Congregation. We belong to that "night of light" in which a "dream" took shape in Blessed Alberione's mind: "not a group of ordinary nuns, but rather a group of Pastorelle Sisters who understand and carry out the Pastor's mission" (AD, Appendix IV,
