AMERICA/ARGENTINA - In depth study meetings on the figure of Saint Paul the Apostle, “faithful disciple and tireless missionary”, in preparation for Year of St Paul indicted by Pope Benedict XVI

Buenos Aires (Agenzia Fides) - The Federation of Catholic Workers Associations in Argentina in view of the Year of St Paul indicted by Pope Benedict XVI will host four meetings on the figure of Saint Paul at its head offices in the Junín district of Buenos Aires. The Year of St Paul will be celebrated from 28 June 2008 to 29 June 2009. Main celebrations for the Year will be held in Rome where St Paul was martyred and where he is buried, the Pope explained when he announced the event, but he also encouraged events in other parts of the world. "Saint Paul the Apostle, “faithful disciple and tireless missionary” is the title of the meetings in Junin, during the missionary month of October. Part of the programme will be a showing of the film "Saint Paul", which narrates the fascinating story of "Paul for all times", and a critical comment and analysis on the film will reveal its ethical and religious value.
