Saint Titus

Who they were

Titus came from a Greek pagan family and was converted by St Paul, becoming his companion and fellow worker. Paul took him to the Council of Jerusalem and refused to have him circumcised, so that Titus stood as living proof that the Gospel is for every nation.

Paul sent him to the troubled Church of Corinth, where he restored peace between the community and the apostle, and sent him back to organise the collection for the Christians of Jerusalem, calling him 'my partner and fellow worker'. The Pastoral Letters make him bishop of Crete.

The miracles

There was never a formal cause: Titus has been honoured as a saint since the first century. He shares his memorial with St Timothy on 26 January.

Why that counted as sanctity

Titus, a Gentile convert, became a peacemaker and pastor for the young Church, trusted by Paul with its hardest tasks.
