Who are
the Sister Disciples of the Divine Master?
 Founded in 1924 in Italy by Blessed James Alberione (1884 -1971) we
form part of the Pauline Family.
This is a family of priests, religious and lay people whose mission
is: ‘to live and give Jesus Master to the world’.
We are a community born of the Eucharist, open to the newness of the
Spirit and inserted within our socio-ecclesial context.
We are an
international Congregation of religious women.Our consecrated life
is centred on the Eucharist– a life of prayer and intercession for
all of humanity.
The communities have a strong contemplative-apostolic lifestyle of
loving and active silence.
In religious profession we
publicly assume the obligation of living this Rule of Life in
communion with our sisters
and to fulfil our mission at the service of the Eucharist, the
Priesthood and the Liturgy.
In our apostolic
activity we seek to make the Eucharistic Jesus known, loved and
adored.
We promote liturgical formation and animation in various ways among
the clergy and laity. This is done through the production and
distribution of sacred art, liturgical furnishings and vestments,
together with an active participation in the life of the
Church. We are associated with the ministry of the priest, just as
Mary was with Jesus. In this aspect, we offer a space of prayer and
hospitality through Bethany House which reaches out in a particular
way to priests in need of rest and spiritual renewal through
community support, and prayer.
Our charism is lived out in
missionary and multicultural communities of
which we have two in
Ireland,
one
community in Dublin and
another in Athlone.
We
are in the
five continents and in 31 nations where we have Chapels
of Perpetual Adoration.
There we are known as the ‘apostles of the Eucharist.’
Our prayer is for all people and we intercede for the media of
social communication and for priests.
This prayer for priests is also expressed in our ministry of
accompaniment of care and service at various stages of their lives.
