This article emphasizes the debate about the use of written correspondence as a source for the study of the History of Education and especially the history of Catholic religious education. Chiara Lubich, an Italian Catholic school teacher who, used letters as a privileged way to keep in touch with the people. She took letters as a resource able to reach people and places where she could not be physically present and, created an educational approach epistolary, who can be considered as a different perspective in Catholic pedagogy. The research aims to identify and analyze how Chiara's teaching activity through epistolary medium was configured and, specifically, what formative approach is contained in these writings. The theoretical foundation of the research is based on the concepts of materiality, by Roger Chartier; charisma, religious field and symbolic relations of Pierre Bourdieu; in addition, Michel de Certeau's strategy and tactic were used.

Keywords : Chiara Lubich; Correspondence; History of Education; Pedagogy.
