Our mission

For years, volunteers and professionals have been committed to perpetuating the privileged position of Saint-Paul’s.

Today volunteers gather here alongside professionals (in-house and guests), with a background in the musical and art-historical field to what we today call the “Saint Paul’s Academy”. It connects them with the passion they feel for everything that has to do with heritage, architecture, collection, art, music, science, tourist visits and of course the Saint-Paul’s church. In concrete terms, this translates into:

• An annual program full of exhibitions, lectures and other events
• The valuable musical program of Music in Saint-Paul
• Being active on social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Youtube
• Digital activity with live streaming of masses and concerts and fascinating short documentaries for Slow Art Day and Heritage Day, among others
• PaulLus, the monthly magazine of Sint-Paulus Antwerp, full of fascinating historical articles, a word from our pastor, nice photos of what has been and teasers about what is still planned
