Gratitude Beyond Words

Twenty-five years ago, the St. Paul Center began with a simple mission: to help Catholics understand the profound unity between the Old and New Testaments and to see how Scripture illuminates our faith. What started as a vision has become a worldwide ministry touching millions of hearts.

Our Mission

Reading the Bible from the Heart of the Church

 

The St. Paul Center is a nonprofit research and educational institute that promotes life-transforming Scripture study from the heart of the Church. We want to raise up a new generation of priests who are fluent in the Bible and lay people who are biblically literate. For us, this means equipping them to enter into the heart of the living Word of God and to be transformed and renewed by this encounter.
