In collaboration with the Indian Catholic Press Association (ICPA), the Indian Province of the Society of St. Paul (SSP) has established two media awards to honour India's "authors" and "media personnel."
Two Catholic priests from Asia are among those who are newly elected to the leadership team of the worldwide Society of St Paul, founded in Italy by Blessed James Alberione.
On April 27, 2003, Alberione was beatified by Pope Saint John Paul II, who called him the “First Apostle of the New Evangelization”—a sign for the whole Church that even through an avant-garde apostolate can one achieve holiness.
