The Year of Saint Paul, Apostle of the Gentiles
June 28, 2008 through June 29, 2009

Pope Benedict XVI announced the Year of Saint Paul to mark the 2000th anniversary of the birth of the Apostle of the Gentiles. The declaration of a this Pauline Year has sparked a renewed interest in the life, teachings, and ministry of Saint Paul. A selection of Bible studies, books, and media (DVDs, CDs, internet resources) for the Year of Saint Paul was compiled through a collaborative effort of the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership (NCCL) and the National Advisory Committee on Adult Religous Education (NACARE). Included are resources for small group sharing, adult faith formation, or individual study. We thank Maryanne Harrington, Director and Connie Scharff, Program Coordinator; Office for Formation of the Laity, Archdiocese of Philadelphia for providing this compilation of select resources.
