A thought for Palm Sunday
Giving oneself
"We do not find life by possessing it, but by giving it."
Pope Benedict. Homily at Palm Sunday Mass, World Youth Day 9 April 2006
The Society of St Paul is a congregation of Catholic priests and brothers whose mission is to proclaim the message of the Gospel using the means of modern communications. We are part of the worldwide Pauline Family.
Through books, magazines, journals, film, radio, television, video and the internet, the Society of St Paul continues the vision of its founder, Blessed James Alberione, to follow in the missionary footsteps of St Paul the Apostle in bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world.
Born in 1884, Fr James Alberione felt called to serve the Church in a particular way during a vigil of prayer on New Year’s Eve 1900. In 1914, from this spirit-filled vision, emerged the Society of St Paul. Fr James died on 26th November 1971 and was Beatified by Pope John Paul II on 27th April 2003.
The Pauline Family keeps alive Blessed James’ vision with a presence in 41 countries as publishers and retailers, bringing the message of the Gospel to the world today. In England we have a Publishing House in Battersea, London and bookshops in London, Birmingham, York and Leeds. In Ireland we have a distribution centre in Maynooth and a bookshop in Athlone.
