What can St Paul, who lived nearly two thousand years ago, teach our children and youth in today’s world? This is the pursuit that St Benedict College followed through the jubilee of the Pauline Year in 2009. In the light of the special link our islands have always had with our Father St Paul, St Benedict College welcomed Pope Benedict XVI’s invitation to celebrate, together with the Universal Church, the Pauline year not just as an occasion for a number of celebrations that will just pass by but as a driving force towards giving our college community a chance of rediscovering the strength that comes from the faith that we have always embraced. The Christian faith has always been intertwined with that which gave us our identity as a people and nation.
