It’s more than two years that I have been attending the monthly meetings of the Pauline Cooperators, since Oct 2008. During the meetings, we spend an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament,worshipping our Lord and listening to His words. After which, we come together again to learn more about the Pauline spirituality and to share the apostolic work of the Daughters of St Paul. It was through these meetings that I got to know more of our patron Saint, St Paul, and our founder Blessed Alberione's vision and mission to spread the Gospel everywhere. As this year is the Year of the Laity, I felt that God is calling me to be more committed to this mission. By making the Promise, I felt so blessed and privileged and can use this wonderful channel to be an instrument for Christ. I want to follow St Paul and be able to say, “it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me!” What better way than to be in this wonderful Pauline Family!
--CHERYL PONG--
Thank you, God. Full of joy I made my Promise to become a full member of the Association of Pauline Cooperators (APC) on the feast of St Paul, 30th June 2011. The APC is one of the institutes of the Pauline Family. This is where I can obtain many graces of love, and this makes me very happy. To imitate St Paul the Apostle in his mission of spreading the Gospel, and now in the APC to use the modern media of communication, this makes me feel blessed and close to God. I am happy to know the Daughters of St Paul and to belong to the Association of Pauline Cooperators.

As we celebrate the Year of the Laity, I, Dominic Lau, became a member of the Association of Pauline Cooperators on the feast of St Paul, 30th June 2011. I feel blessed and full of joy and peace when the membership ceremony was presided over by Sr Ida, Regional Superior of East Asia Delegation. I thank God to let me know the Daughters of St Paul during these two years. This is a gift from God. May the strength of the Holy Spirit lead me to cooperate with the Pauline sisters to fulfill our duties of evangelization, and to give witness to the Gospel.
