About Us

EDUca.DOR in Europe

We live in a time of assumption of our charism and the educational style of Santa Paula Frassinetti that is both a legacy and a challenge. For reasons connected with the history of the congregation and the “signs of the times”, the European Educational Centres feel called to translate, in fidelity to the charism, the educational ideas in a new and common language, able to continue to enthusiasm those who come to us.

Identification with the Charisma allows all Centres to be aligned regarding what is essential, within the diversity of each.


Identity – Mission

We are an evangelizing community that educates in the style of Paula and that, through close and personal relationship and example, promotes the harmonious growth of the person to be the protagonist of his/her own life as well as an agent to transform the reality.
