MÉDIASPAUL
ADIVISION OF THE
SOCIETY OF SAINT PAUL
It all began in the heart of a young man, a youth of sixteen, James
Alberione. A powerful idea came to life in him and altered the course of his
whole life. At first, a simple intuition, a “tiny idea”as small as a speck of sand.
The tiny idea grew into a great design. The great design, in its beauty,
sparked off enthusiasm among those who adopted it, a radiant fire that has
gradually spread beyond all frontiers.
All this came about as the answer to a calling, the unconditional response
of a child inspired by the God of the burning bush.This was the beginning of the
Society of Saint Paul, an apostolic religious congregation founded by Father
Alberione in 1914 and made up of priests and brothers pursuing the same
vocation and mission in the Church, that of communicating the Word of God
through the most rapid and efficient means of communication, such as the
press, radio, television, movies, videos and records.
Established in Canada since February 1947, Médiaspaul is directed by the
priests and brothers of the Society of Saint Paul who are happy to present to
their Customers this catalog.We hope that this selection of religious books will
be a valuable spiritual nourishment.
