Our Patron Saint
Saint Paul is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of Christianity. Famously converted on the road to Damascus, he travelled tens of thousands of miles around the Mediterranean spreading the word of Jesus.
The writings of Saint Paul are some of the earliest Christian documents that we have, thirteen of the twenty-seven books of the Bible are written by him. The one thing most people know about Saint Paul is that he underwent a dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus. Reading Paul’s letters and Acts of the Apostles we learn that Paul was born in Tarsus, in modern day Eastern Turkey; he was a tent maker by trade, was an avid student under the top Jewish teacher in Jerusalem and was also a Roman citizen.
Paul wrote some of the most beautiful and important passages in the whole of the Bible. He was the first great Christian theologian, establishing some of the building blocks of the faith that we now take for granted. In his letters, we also discover the Paul who writes warmly of his friends, both men and women, the Paul who frets about how the members of his churches are coping without him and who defends their status as true converts and the Paul who appeals for the freedom of a slave.

Saul, as he was known then, was thought to have supported the persecution of the early disciples of Jesus in the area of Jerusalem until he travelled on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus. He was on a mission to "bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished" when the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light. Saul was struck blind, but after three days his sight was restored by Ananias of Damascus, and Paul began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah and the Son of God. It was at that time Saul was baptised and took the name Paul.
Paul travelled tens of thousands of miles around the Mediterranean spreading the word of Jesus. You will recognise some of the cities that Paul visited as the five Houses used at St Paul's Catholic College: Corinth; Damascus; Lystra; Valletta and Rome. During his travels, Paul preached ceaselessly, often drawing criticism and ire from those who rebuffed his message. Jews, in particular, hated his preaching as they saw h
