The association is composed
of men and women Catholics who desire to live according to the spirit
of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres and to
participate in their mission.
The
main aim of the Association is the personal sanctification of members
by prayer and good works. As witnesses of Christ, their whole life
is apostolic. They meet together for spiritual formation and renewal
and to promote fraternal communion. Each one contributes to the
building up of a Christian community that radiates faith and charity.
They organize spiritual, apostolic and social activities like retreats,
prayers meetings and gatherings. They support certain apostolic
projects of the Sisters and join them in some celebrations like
the Feast of St Paul and Christmas. The members bind themselves
by a promise that is renewable each year.
The first group of associates
was formed in 1916 in Japan, followed by Canada, Thailand, the Antilles
and the United States. The Friends of St Paul in Hong Kong was started
by the former Provincial Superior, Sister Lucie Marie Ko, on 12
November 1988. The first eleven members made their Commitment on
29 June 1990.
