Pauline Year Events

The Year of Saint Paul

Benedict XVI has declared June, 2008 through June, 2009 as the year of St. Paul in celebration of the 2,000th anniversary of the saint’s birth.

The Holy Father explained during his homily: “This ‘Pauline Year’ will take place in a special way in Rome, where for 2,000 years under the papal altar of this basilica, lies the tomb that according to experts and undisputed tradition has conserved the remains of the apostle Paul.”

“Also, in every part of the world, similar initiatives will be organized in dioceses, sanctuaries and places of prayer by religious institutions, institutions of study and assistance, which carry the name of Saint Paul or which have been inspired by him and his teaching.”
