Father Santiago Alberione was born on April 4, 1884 in San Lorenzo de Fossano, northern Italy. Son of a humble and hard-working family but with a deep faith. From a young age he felt God’s call to do something for the men of the new century. As a seminarian, on the night that divided the 19th century from the 20th century, while he was in fervent prayer before the tabernacle, he felt God’s call to do something for the men of the new century. This conviction marked the life of Father Alberione, who, with poor health since birth, with two World Wars on the horizon and with many adversities, founded the Society of Saint Paul and later what would become the great Pauline Family. Alberione, means “tree”. And that is what Father Alberione was: a fruitful man, the trunk of a great tree that supports large leafy branches, populated by thousands and thousands of followers who, in love with the charisma of Saint Paul, continue to bear apostolic fruits in every corner. of the world. Father Santiago Alberione was called to the Father’s House on November 26, 1971 and on April 27, 2003, he was declared Blessed by Pope John Paul II. ![]()
