FAQs

What is the St. Paul Center?

The St. Paul Center is a nonprofit research and educational institute that promotes life-transforming Scripture study from the heart of the Church.

Our mission is to empower priests and laity with the tools they need to read and understand the Word of God in a way that is both personal and faithful to the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church.

We accomplish this through our online courses, numerous popular level and academic books on Scripture and theology, and in-person parish events across the country.

What is Bible Across America?

By witnessing the transformative power of studying Scripture in community, Bible Across America will inspire Catholics across the nation to introduce communal Scripture study in their own homes and parishes.
