Pope Benedict XVI has declared June 2008 - June 2009 a Year of St Paul in celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the apostle's birth. It is reckoned that St Paul was born between 6 - 10 A.D. The Holy Father explained that:

saintPaul

'The Apostle of the Gentiles, who dedicated himself to the spreading of the good news to all peoples, spent himself for the unity and harmony of all Christians. May he guide us and protect us in this bimillenary celebration, helping us to advance in the humble and sincere search for the full unity of all the members of the mystical body of Christ.'

Benedict XVI - Homily at First Vespers of the Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul
