THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PAUL

The Society of Saint Paul is a religious congregation which was founded in 1914 at Alba, in Italy, province of Cuneo, by Bl. James Alberione. Its members are known as Paulines. Faithful to the mission assigned them by their Founder, they communicate the Christian message with the use of all means that technology put at the disposition of modern man. They are present in 32 countries around the world. They are active in many fields: editorial and bookstores, journalism, cinematography, television, radio, audiovisual, multimedia, telematics; centres of studies, research, formation, animation.

BLESSED JAMES ALBERIONE

He was born on April 4, 1884 in San Lorenzo di Fossano, Italy, to a devout Catholic peasant family. He is the Founder of the Pauline Family- five religious congregations, four institutes of consecrated secular life, and a Lay Association.

Considered as the most creative apostle of the 20th century, Pope Paul VI expressed his admiration and veneration for Blessed James Alberione in the following words: ‘There he is: humble, silent, tireless, always vigilant, recollected in his thought, which run from prayer to action;always intent on reading the ‘sign of the times’, that is, the most creative ways to reach souls.

Our Fr. Alberione has given the church new instruments with which to express herself, new means to give vigour and breadth to her apostolate, new capacities and a new awareness of the validity and possibilities of his mission in the modern world with modern means.

St Pauls Institute of Communication Education is a unit of the Pauline Family.

FILM EDITING SUITE

The film editing suite - a significant addition to our media infrastructure - is a milestone in our journey towards embracing advanced digital technology in media education. The suite is equipped with five MAC Computers and video editing software, for students to edit shots and footage; and then combine them into sequences to create the excellent movies that they/their audiences appreciate.

Editors usually play a dynamic role in the making of a film. Sometimes, skilled film directors edit their own films.

The Film editing suite will be used by students of SPICE for their film making and other film-related projects; it is open to external audiences as well.
