Who We Are

This complex consists of a Publishing House, where we print and publish books of socio-cultural and religious value by authors from India and abroad; Communications Department where we have been producing music and films on socio-cultural and religious themes; Formation House, where young women who feel called to vocation of the Daughters of St Paul are trained in Pauline spirituality, charism and values.

The Provincialate holds the Administrative setup for the Indian Province and is housed in the same complex as the Local Community of Sisters. The PAULINE BOOK & MEDIA CENTRE is run by the Local community Sisters. Here books, multimedia materials, religious articles and liturgical items are made available.

The Indian Province (estd 1965) has 15 houses which run 18 Pauline Book & Media Centres nation-wide—in Ahmedabad, Bandra (Mumbai), Bangalore (2), Borivli (Mumbai), Panjim (2), Mapusa, Guwahati, Kolkata, Mangalore, Nagpur, New Delhi, Secunderabad, Shillong, Trichy, Trivandrum, Vasai. Canonically we are called DAUGHTERS OF ST PAUL, but we are registered as PAULINE SISTERS BOMBAY SOCIETY as a Charitable Trust under the Bombay Charitable Trust Act of 1951. For sales and transactions, we go as PAOLINE BOOKS AND MEDIA PRIVATE LIMITED. Our website www.paulineindia.org hosts an online shop, for the sale of our productions and information.

Our DIGITAL PRESENCE ONLINE

Since 2011 we have a YouTube Channel, PaulinesIndia, where we evangelize through videos by promoting social, religious, cultural, and national values specially on particular occasions specific to the Catholic Church and our nation. These are prepared by our Sisters in the Communications Department.

We run two Android Apps—one for E-book sales i.e. Pauline India (link) and the other for E-music sales, i.e. Pauline Music (link). These cater to the digitally savvy generation.

We are also actively present on popular Social Media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Snapchat. We regularly publish an E-News bulletin on Blogger too. All the links are available on this site.
