An invitation to become a Pauline Cooperator

The Pauline Cooperators invite men and women who would like to share in Pauline spirituality and mission to join the Association of Pauline Cooperators (founded in 1918 by Venerable James Aberione). Every baptised person is called to be a "cooperator" of Jesus Christ, to announce the gospel to the people of today. The Pauline Cooperators choose to announce the gospel through the media of communication, evangelizing people and cultures with the Word of God.

Pauline Cooperators meet once a month with a local Pauline Community or in their Parish. A formation manual allows the candidate to learn about and share in the Pauline Charism through an 18 session, scripture based program. At the end of the 18 sessions he or she may pronounce the promise of the Pauline Cooperators--praying and working closely with the Society of St. Paul, the Daughters of St. Paul, the Pious Disciples or other congregations in the Pauline Family in their area. Opportunities for annual retreats and conferences are provided around the United States and Canada. A monthly magazine keeps the Cooperator informed of events and deepens the Pauline Charism by means of formative articles.
