OUR PATRON,
ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE

Paul, whose Jewish name was Saul, was born between 5 and 10 A.D. at Tarsus, Celicia. Educated in Jewish and non-Jewish studies, he spoke Hebrew and Greek and became an ardent Pharisee, to the point of persecuting the Christians. His phenomenal conversion and total offering of his life to Christianity made him the greatest missionary of the Christian Church. He is the patron of Paulinian schools.
