At the age of nineteen, Paula went to stay with her brother Giuseppe, a priest at the seaside village of Quinto in Liguria. In 1834 she and six other women form a small community called the "Daughters of Holy Faith". Fr. Giuseppe and members of the parish started a small school in a church that had been dedicated to St. Clare. The sisters teach in the school, and go to Genoa to help during a break out of Cholera.

In 1835 Blessed Fr. Luca Passi, of Bergamo, a friend of her brother Giuseppe, asked Paula if she would assume the Pious Work of Saint Dorothy, a project he had founded to serve the poorest and most needy youth. Thereafter the Daughters of Holy Faith became known as the Sisters of Saint Dorothy. On May 19, 1841, Paula establishes a house in Rome. The work of the institute expands beyond Liguria and Rome, to other parts of Italy as new houses, boarding schools, and orphanages are established. Later the sisters establish a presence in Malta, Portugal, and Brazil. In the United Kingdom the sisters run an International Student's Residence and are involved in Parish Ministry.
