On June 29th , 2008, Pope Benedict inaugurated the year of St. Paul. In doing so, he encouraged the whole Catholic world to focus on St. Paul, especially as a model of evangelization. In addition to many initiatives taking place at the parish level in the Archdiocese, Archbishop Gregory is promoting the year of St. Paul by establishing two pilgrimage churches, St. Paul in Cleveland, and Sts. Peter and Paul in Decatur. By making the Pauline year indulgence available to Catholics who make a pilgrimage to one of those two churches, the Archbishop is encouraging renewed devotion to St. Paul in our own Archdiocese.

In the Archdiocese of Atlanta, the Pauline pilgrimage consists of a journey to one of the aforementioned churches, prayer before the image of St. Paul, a reading from one of St. Paul's letters, and the prayer mentioned on the decree. This pilgrimage is best undertaken as a group.

Young adults are encouraged to participate in this pilgrimage opportunity. Please visit www.archatl.com/clife/paul for more info.

St. Paul the Apostle, pray for us.
