Welcome to the home page for STAR OF THE SEA Resources from Paul Thigpen. This site is dedicated to Our Lady Stella Maris, "Star of the Sea" - the guiding Star who leads us safely home to her Son, Jesus. My purpose is to help Catholics deepen their faith in Our Lord, and to help others learn more about the Catholic faith, by making available to them online and through purchase my articles, books, tapes, and talks, as well as the work of The Stella Maris Center for Faith and Culture. This site also links you to the webpage for The Catholic Answer, a bimonthly magazine about the Catholic faith published by Our Sunday Visitor, Inc. I serve as the magazine's editor.
Take a look around the site, kick back and relax, and read whatever strikes your fancy:
- Find out a little more about me and my work at Meet Paul Thigpen.
- Check out Articles,
Essays, and Prayers I've written on a number of topics, all related
to Christian faith and life.
- I recently founded a new local Catholic apostolate for evangelization,
catechesis, and cultural formation in Savannah, Georgia. Take a look
at The
Stella Maris Center for Faith and Culture.
- Friends
of the Georgia Martyrs is an association coordinated by The Stella
Maris Center. Its mission is to promote the canonization of the five
16th-century Spanish Franciscan missionaries who preached to the native
Americans in what is now coastal Georgia and gave their lives there
for the Catholic faith and the sanctity of marriage.

I pray you'll find something here that will bring you closer to the fiery, loving heart of the Most Blessed Trinity-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-and that your own heart will be set ablaze.
As sailors are guided by a star to the port, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary. - St. Thomas Aquinas
Our Lady Stella Maris, Star of the Sea, pray for us!
