Pauline Spirit

Schedule a Talk!
Looking for a way to help  your parish or organization members come to a better knowledge of the Apostle Paul? Who better than the Daughters of St. Paul to bring his life, his letters, his most influential ideas to life? Choose one or more of these insightful Pauline Year presentations:

The Life and Legends of Paul in Art

Much of the artistic tradition depicting the life of Paul depends not only on Scripture, but on little-known Christian legends. You may be surprised by what you can learn of Paul’s life, ministry and martyrdom as seen through the lens of 100 works of art. If you plan only one event for the Pauline Year, this should be it!

(This presentation requires a computer-compatible projector and screen or surface large enough for the expected audience to have full visibility.)

St. Paul and the Bible

An introduction to the Letters of St. Paul in their overall context: the Bible as Paul knew it; the Bible as Paul used it; Paul as a biblical author. Ideal for an audience just getting started in Scripture study.

Five Big Ideas We Owe to Paul

Many Catholic commonplaces, from “offering it up” to the language of marriage as a sacrament, come to us from St. Paul. What does St. Paul have to say to us today through these “big ideas” that he was the first to articulate?

Pauline Day of Recollection

Offer your parishioners, staff or organization members a morning of prayer and reflection with St. Paul. Morning “retreat” consists of two half-hour conferences on Pauline spirituality, plus a guided Hour of Eucharistic Adoration.
