PUBLICATIONS
“No other grace do I ask of you than to love you and to make others love you”: this profound desire of Saint Gertrude has led us to produce books, pamphlets and periodicals.
For several years now, we have been striving to make Saint Geltrude Comensoli known to everyone, to spread the Gospel embodied in the spiritual patrimony of our Congregation and in the life of our Institute in the various parts of the world.
