BLESSED JAMES ALBERIONE- Our patron

ST PAULS COLLEGE is an educational institution owned and managed by the members of THE SOCIETY OF ST PAUL. It is a Christian Religious Institution known all over the world with its branches in more than 42 nations. The college has adopted its name from St Paul, an enthusiastic missionary from Tarsus in Turkey who preached Jesus Christ. The religious congregation SOCIETY OF ST PAUL which has taken its name from St Paul was founded by an Italian priest named James Alberione, honoured to day in the Catholic Church as Blessed James Alberione.

James Alberione was born in a small village in north Italy on April 4, 1884. During the night that divided the 19th and 20th century the young Alberione who was then pursuing his priestly studies, received a special illumination and inspiration during prayer, that urged him to do something special for the men and women of the new century. Alberione realized that the mass media at that time were being used mostly to serve all the wrong causes, to spread evil and untruth. Alberione focused his attention on the mass media and dreamt of organizing a group of people who would employ the powerful means of mass communication for promoting human and spiritual values and for making known the message of Jesus Christ. With the foundation of THE SOCIETY OF ST PAUL on August 20, 1914 Alberione’s great dream came true. ST PAULS COLLEGE, Bangalore, stands out as the latest in a chain of enterprises that sprouted from the vision of this great man who was acclaimed as ‘The media marvel of the 20th century.’
