The Catholic world has a new presence on the Internet: the St. Paul Store (www.sanpaolostore.it)–a portal through which associations, movements, parishes, pastoral workers and all those who want to deepen and enrich the religious and cultural aspects of their lives can find books, CDs, DVDs and religious objects and order them right from home.
This latest initiative of Pauline Publications Italy offer Catholics a valuable point of reference in the innovative and ever-expanding e-commerce sector. Above and beyond its commercial aspect and in keeping with the Pauline mission, the St. Paul Store is characterized by its wide-ranging and carefully selected publications. The portal does not want to be just another online store but also a space for dialogue, reflection and the comparison of ideas.
Up until now, the Catholics presence has not been as strong as it could be in the e-commerce sector, but in line with Fr. Alberione’s command to “speak in a Christian way about everything,” the St. Paul Store will hopefully help the Catholics presence take a front-line stand in this dynamic new area of cyberspace.
