Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROMOTE BIBLICAL LITERACY FOR LAY PEOPLE AND BIBLICAL FLUENCY FOR CLERGY AND TEACHERS, SO THAT ALL CATHOLICS CAN READ THE BIBLE FROM THE HEART OF THE CHURCH.

  • NEW HEADQUARTERS AND EXPANDED OUTREACH IN 2024, THE ST. PAUL CENTER CELEBRATED A MILESTONE WITH THE GRAND OPENING OF ITS NEW HEADQUARTERS, A STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY STRATEGICALLY LOCATED ACROSS FROM THE FRANCISCAN UNIVERSITY IN STEUBENVILLE, OHIO. THIS MODERN SPACE ENHANCES THE CENTER'S CAPACITY TO HOST CONFERENCES, SEMINARS AND EVENTS, PRODUCE HIGH-QUALITY MULTIMEDIA CONTENT, AND FOSTER COLLABORATION WITH PRIESTS, DEACONS, SEMINARIANS, AND EMERGING SCRIPTURE SCHOLARS. THE EXODUS & EXILE LENT PODCAST SERIES REACHED THOUSANDS OF LISTENERS WORLDWIDE, WHILE THE EMMAUS ACADEMY CONTINUED ITS ROBUST GROWTH, EMPOWERING CATHOLICS WITH ACCESSIBLE BIBLICAL EDUCATION. THE CENTER ACHIEVED A RECORD-HIGH OPERATING REVENUE, REFLECTING STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND EXPANDED IMPACT.

    Expenses $353,378 · Revenue $1,692,789

  • PUBLISHING MILESTONES EMMAUS ROAD PUBLISHING (ERP) MARKED A HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT WITH THE RELEASE OF THE IGNATIUS CATHOLIC STUDY BIBLE, A COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE UNPARALLELED IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING CATHOLIC WORLD. THIS PROJECT, NEARLY THREE DECADES IN DEVELOPMENT, REFLECTS A PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO SACRED SCRIPTURE AND ITS TRANSFORMATIVE POWER FOR CATHOLIC READERS. ADDITIONALLY, EMMAUS ACADEMIC COMPLETED THE MONUMENTAL SIX-VOLUME HANDBOOK OF CATHOLIC DOGMATICS BY MATTHIAS JOSEPH SCHEEBEN, TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME. TO CELEBRATE THIS SCHOLARLY MILESTONE, THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME HOSTED A WORKSHOP CONVENING LEADING THEOLOGIANS AND SCHOLARS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE TO ENGAGE WITH SCHEEBEN'S WORK.

    Expenses $2,623,082 · Revenue $3,847,725

  • CLERGY AND SEMINARIAN FORMATION THE ST. PAUL CENTER INTENSIFIED ITS MISSION TO "TEACH THE TEACHERS" IN 2024, SIGNIFICANTLY EXPENDING CLERGY FORMATION PROGRAMS. THE CENTER HOSTED THREE NATIONAL PRIEST CONFERENCES IN CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, AND WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA, SERVING 630 PRIESTS WHO COLLECTIVELY MINISTER TO MILLIONS OF CATHOLICS. THE NEW HEADQUARTERS FACILITATED THE INAUGURAL SCRIPTURE CONFERENCE FOR DEACONS, STRENGTHENING DIACONAL BIBLICAL FORMATION. PLANS WERE ALSO DEVELOPED FOR A SEMINARIANS SCRIPTURE CONFERENCE, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR FUTURE INITIATIVES TO EQUIP THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHURCH LEADERS WITH ROBUST SCRIPTURAL TRAINING.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
