Dear Principals, Students and Parents,

Inorder to give a concrete expression for the “Year of the St. Paul” the CBCI Commission for Youth-ICYM & Youth Activ8 Foundation® launched a Nationwide Bible Quiz on “St. Paul an Inspiration for our times” –on 7th January 2009 in four languages i.e English, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil. Around 14,000 Students between 8th to 12th Std from 436 schools from 11 Regions participated in this Quiz on St. Paul.

To answer the Quiz on St. Paul, one needs to be familiar with the Bible. We were over whelmed to see the enthusiasm of the 14,000 students and teachers of the 436 schools across the country who participated in the Bible quiz.

Three Regional Topers from each region will be recognized with a Scholarship and a certificate. Those who scored 80 percent and above marks will be issued a Certificate of Excellence. All other participants will be rewarded with a Certificate of Participation.

Regional Bible Quiz Topers need to send their Photos’ to the National Office. We will publish them in our Website as well as in the “Apna Yuva Spandan” the National Youth Monthly. Our Postal Address: Youth Activ8 foundation, CBCI Centre, 1, Ashok Place, New Delhi 110 001.

The HM/Principal will receive the hard copy of the individual Results along with the Certificates before 15th March 2009. The names of the students who scored 80 and above marks will be published in this website on Thursday 19th February, 2009

We are grateful to the Principals’ of all the schools along with their staff who worked with a missionary zeal to materialize our dream to help the students to deepen their lifelong friendship with the Word of God. We are thankful to students and Scripture Professors of St Peter’s Pontifical Institute, Bangalore for preparing the Questions on St. Paul. We earnestly pray for all our benefactors and well wishers and specially those who helped us to realize this ‘labour of love’. May God bless us a hundredfold and make us an instrument to liberate the world of hatred, violence and to work towards justice and peace of the Kingdom of God.
