There is a reason that Saint Paul is the patron saint of so many groups: missionaries, evangelists, writers, journalists, authors, public workers, rope and saddle makers, and tent makers. He is considered the most influential Christian in history. No wonder these quality Saint Paul statues are so popular!
His conversion from brutal persecutor of Christians to the most powerful evangelist in history is both well-documented and inspiring. We are all called to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth, and St. Paul is one man who shows how to accept that mission fearlessly and in many forms.
Two of St. Paul's feast days are: Feast of Conversion of St. Paul on January 25 and the joint Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul on June 29.
