Recently I gave a talk on St. Paul for the Archdiocese of Vancouver. This will be the first of a four-part series.

In this introductory session, we will explore the remarkable life and mission of St. Paul. Join us as we investigate the fascinating biography of Paul and the tumultuous world in which he lived. Paul is an inspiring example for us in our own journey of discipleship.
