✢ July 12 Feast Day with His Eminence Archbishop Daniel: Photo Album ✢ 

Saint Paul's Monastery (OCA) is a small brotherhood nestled in the bluffs of rural Marietta, Wisconsin, USA. In the spirit of Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Nations, we are building a monastery that brings the Athonite spiritual tradition to life in the English language. ​​​​​​

There is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, circumcised nor uncircumcised, but Christ is all and in all.

THE LIFE OF OUR HEAVENLY PATRON
from
SAINT PAUL THE APOSTLE ORTHODOX MONASTERY

​

The Holy Apostle Paul was born in Tarsus, of the tribe of Benjamin at first he was called Saul. He studied under Gamaliel, and was a Pharisee and a persecutor of Christianity. He was miraculously converted to the Christian Faith by the Lord Himself, Who appeared to him on the road to Damascus. He was baptized by the Apostle Ananias, named Paul and numbered in the service of the Great Apostles. With fiery zeal Paul preached the Gospel everywhere, from the borders of Arabia to Spain, among the Jews and among the Gentiles, and received the title “the Apostle to the Nations.” As horrible as his sufferings were, so much greater was his superhuman patience. Throughout all the years of his preaching, Paul hung from day to day as on a weak thread between life and death. Having fulfilled all his days and nights with labor and suffering for Christ, having organized the Church in many places, and having attained such a degree of perfection, he was able to say: It is now no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20). Paul was beheaded in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero, at the same time as the martyrdom of the Apostle Peter.
