A Centre of Light and Grace at Gabriella House, Lang'ata

On the 12th of April 2013, a new Paulines Books and Media Centre was officially opened at Gabriella house: a centre of light and grace. This significant event just happened a year after the official opening of Gabriella House, the residence for the student Sisters of the Daughters of St Paul.

More than 150 participants were present for the occasion, most of them religious men and women, students, professors and librarians, who would be the main audience of our new centre. The event began with a prayer by Sr Atanasia, our local Superior, followed by a brief welcome address by Sr Mariuccia, our delegate Superior. She read a brief message from Sr Antonieta Bruscato, our Superior General. Sr Antonieta exhorted us to 'possess the soul, the heart and the mind of St Paul' in the work of evangelisation that will be carried out in this new centre. Sr Teresa then explained the meaning of the book centre according to the thought of Fr Alberione.

The Paulines Books and Media Centre was officially opened and blessed by Bishop Harrington! Soon after people started buying books! It was like a response to Christ in the gospel of St John: "Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink!" (Jn 7:37). The occasion was closed with the cutting of the cake and a moment of socialising while the book sales continued! Due to the commitment of the Sisters to study, the book centre will be opened only from 2pm to 5pm, Mondays to Fridays and from 9am to 12.30pm on Saturdays.
