Through the internet, the Pauline Family worldwide is symbolically present today in the Crypt of the Sanctuary of Mary Queen of Apostles where the Superior General of the SSP, Fr. Silvio Sassi, presides over the Eucharistic celebration on the occasion of the Solemnity of St Paul, the Apostle, and the Centenary of the Ordination to the Priesthood of the Founder, Blessed James Alberione. 

This Sanctuary is particularly dear to Blessed James Alberione considering it as the heart, the place of pilgrim and ideal encounter, the vital center of all the Pauline Institutes spread throughout the world.  

He wrote:

“This is the head and center Church of the Pauline Family, the Church of the Congregation, the Church of social functions, of missions and of co-operators.  In it the thoughts, the desires, the respects of each House, of each land, of each child, of each family meet” (SP, 1947). 

The big architectural complex, containing in its foundations as in a casket, the urn with the body of Blessed James Alberione,  this great Apostle of the new times that has marked a century but has crossed it almost without notice.  He confided in himself, with profound humility: The Lord's will is accomplished, despite the wretchedness of the one who was to be its unworthy and unsuitable instrument. Both at the outset and along the way everything came from the Tabernacle: light, grace, warnings, strength and vocations. … I can assure everyone that everything has been done, only and always, by the light of the Tabernacle and in obedience.…” (UPS I, 374-375).
