Our Entity & Heritage
The apostolic trademark of a global Catholic mission
ST PAULS is the apostolic trademark of the Society of St. Paul, an international Catholic religious congregation composed of priests and brothers. Our Philippine subsidiary, ST PAULS Philippines, stands as the apostolic ministry of the congregation’s Philippine-Macau Province, owned and operated by the Society of St. Paul, Inc.
Our foundation rests upon the solid ground of Catholic tradition, yet we embrace innovation in our methods. As inheritors of St. Paul’s apostolic zeal, we understand that the Gospel message must reach people where they are, using the language and technology of their time. This understanding drives our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our ministry.
The Society of St. Paul’s mission, as outlined in our Constitutions and Directory, calls us to pursue perfect charity through the vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and fidelity to the Pope. We live this calling through our shared community life and our dedication to evangelizing humanity through social communications.
Our heritage spans decades of faithful service, during which we have witnessed the transformation of communication technologies and adapted our apostolate accordingly. From traditional printing to digital platforms, we have consistently embraced new opportunities to share the Word of God with greater reach and effectiveness.
What distinguishes ST PAULS in the Philippine Catholic landscape is our unique blend of religious authenticity and professional excellence. Unlike commercial publishers who merely distribute religious content, we operate as a genuine apostolic ministry where every publication decision is guided by pastoral care and evangelical purpose. Our team of religious and lay collaborators brings together theological expertise, editorial excellence, and deep understanding of Filipino Catholic culture. This synthesis ensures that every book we publish, every resource we distribute, and every digital initiative we undertake serves not only as a commercial transaction but as a genuine encounter with the living Word of God, tailored specifically for the spiritual needs of the Filipino faithful.
Our Vision & Mission
Becoming an efficacious evangelizer in the culture of communication
As the Philippines’ leading Catholic online bookstore, we provide everything needed to nurture Catholic faith: comprehensive selections of Catholic bibles, theological works, spiritual books, religious statues, rosaries, and devotional materials.
Vision: Being the apostolic ministry of the Society of St. Paul Philippine-Macau Province, ST PAULS Philippines aims at becoming an efficacious evangelizer in the culture of communication, reaching every Filipino heart with the transformative message of Christ.
Mission: In our ministry of integral evangelization, ST PAULS Philippines continues to publish and diffuse materials for the education and promotion of the Catholic faith. Responding to Jesus’ call to “put out into the deep” (Luke 5:4), we are evolving into a single multimedia publisher of the Word of God, venturing boldly into digital and information technology fields.
Our approach as a Single Multimedia Publisher encompasses four key characteristics:
- Publisher: We communicate with creativity Jesus Christ as Way, Truth, and Life, adopting and respecting various human and cultural realities while maintaining fidelity to Catholic teaching
- Single: We maintain common editorial priorities and consistent organizational standards at both national and international levels
- Multimedia: We actively engage with communication culture, utilizing appropriate languages and technologies according to specific needs, contexts, and situations
- Pauline: We imitate St. Paul’s apostolic zeal, involving various collaborators and fulfilling our unique mission within the broader culture of communication
