The distribution outlet and warehouse in Trafford Park, Manchester, was acquired in 2016 and was blessed by Bishop John Arnold of Salford diocese on 25 January 2017, on the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul. Bishop Arnold, in his message, had congratulated the Paulines for realising the project and appreciated the media apostolate carried out by us. He also expressed his joy of the Pauline presence in his diocese through this centre.
After a few months of renovation and design works, now this distribution centre stocks ST PAULS titles and products from other Catholic publishers and distributors. ST PAULS, in its forward looking and dynamic vision, has invested in this major project in order to strengthen its online distribution network, and to cater to the retail book stores in the UK. The warehouse also has a display area equipped with display shelves. This project was the initiative of Fr Francis Kochupaliyam and he carried out the first phase of the project. Congrats to Fr Francis and to Fr Shaiju who spent their time and energy to make the centre operational.
