ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rolfo, Luigi, PUBLISHER: Saint Pauls/Alba House, Founder of the Society of St. Paul and Pauline Congregations -- Beatified. On Sunday, April 27th, , Father James Alberione will be beatified by Pope John Paul II. Blessed James Alberione () was a man of great holiness and great vision. At the turn of the 20th Century, he saw the need for the Church to be fully engaged in the media of mass communications and he spent the rest of his life carrying out that mission. By the time of his death, he had founded six religious congregations, including the Society of St. Paul/Pauline Fathers and Brothers (St. Pauls/Alba House is the publishing arm of the Society of St. Paul in the United States), the Daughters of St. Paul and the Sister Disciples of the Divine Master. Together the religious congregations and secular institutes he founded make up the Pauline Family. His dramatic life is vividly presented in this authoritative work combining critical scholarship and down to earth realism.
