What is St. Paul the patron saint of?

Hopefully nothing. Although Paul speaks well of Love he speaks poorly of relationships and people are constantly misquoting him for thier own purposes. If Paul had his way the human race would have died out about 1900 years ago. Being a virgin was the best but it was better to wed than to burn. Eek. I'll follow Jesus rather than Paul.

Usually, the patron is the saint of the same name, and there are thousands in the Canon. But I don't know of a St. Aubriel ...\n\nWhat I might suggest is that you tell her that since you couldn't find a St. Aubriel, she'll have to be the first one :)\n\nAlso, for my classes, when a student who's name isn't "Saintly" yet graduates, I get that person a Trinity Cross. There are lots of styles, but they all have a symbol of the Father in the upper arm, Son and Spirit symbols in the side arms, and usually a Eucharistic symbol in the lower arm. You could have the name "Aubriel" engraved on the back of something like that ...\n\nSecondly, rather than a patron of her NAME, you might find a patron of her INTERESTS. For example, Christopher is the saint of sportsmen(women) and travelers, Thomas is the patron of writers, Francis of animal lovers, and so on.

Not in the same respect as the Catholic Church.\n\nAs previous poster said, some churches refer to the apostles as saints... and some christian churches refer to any believer  as a saint after they have passed on, etc.\n\nHowever other Christian churches do not pray to their saints.  Catholics pray to the saints to go before God on their behalf about something.  Whereas the other christian churches pray directly to Jesus, God... not the 'saints'

The Vicar of Christ.\n\nThe Lord made St. Peter the visible foundation of his Church. He entrusted the keys of the Church to him. The bishop of the Church of Rome, successor to St. Peter, is head of the college of bishops, the Vicar of Christ and Pastor of the universal Church on earth.\n\nWe call the pope "Holy Father" not as an acknowledgement of his personal state of soul, but as an expression of respect for his office as the successor to St. Peter as head of the Church on earth.

Yes, actually, we know a fair amount.  He was a fisherman like his brother and lived in Capharnaum.  He was originally a disciple of John the Baptist, who led him to Jesus.  After the Resurrection, we think he went to Scythia, Epirus, Theodoret, and Achaia to preach the word of Christ.  He went to Byzantium, where he appointed St. Stachys as its first bishop.  At Patrae in Achaia, he was crucified by being bound to the cross (not nailed) per order of the Roman Governor Aegeaa.  It's thought that he was crucified on the decussate (X-shaped) cross, but that's not known for sure.  His death took place on November 30, 60 A.D., and so Nov. 30 is still his feast day today.  His relics were moved from Patrae to Constantinople and placed in the church of the Apostles sometime around 357 A.D.  Later, they were taken to Italy and deposited in the cathedral of Amalfi, where most of them still remain.  Today, he's the the patron of Russia and Scotland.

I read this:\n"Paul described himself as an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, circumcised on the eighth day, a Pharisee (Rom 11:1; Phil 3:5), and of the "Jews' religion . . . more exceedingly zealous of the traditions" (Gal 1:14 KJV). He was born as Saul in Tarsus of Cilicia and received a Jewish education. Acts records that Paul was a Roman citizen—a privilege he used a number of times in his defence, appealing convictions in Judea to Rome (Acts 22:25 and 27–29).+The common assumption is that Paul was never married. According to Acts 22:3, Paul studied in Jerusalem under the Rabbi Gamaliel, well known in Paul's time. Thomas Robinson depicts Paul as coming to study in Jerusalem under Gamaliel, when Shammai became Nasi of the Sanhedrin, and during the rise to supremacy of the house of Shammai from 20. However, some scholars, such as Helmut Koester, have expressed doubts that Paul either was in Jerusalem at this time or studied under this famous rabbi. Paul supported himself during his travels and while preaching—a fact he alludes to a number of times (e.g., 1 Cor 9:13–15); according to Acts 18:3, he worked as a tentmaker. According to Romans 16:2, he had a patroness (Koine Greek προστάτις prostatis) named Phoebe."\n\nNobody say how  Paul obtain Roman citizenship. All variant are open.\nMaybe we can study the secret archive of Vatican........

Feast date is April 22nd\n\nFrom Wikipedia:\n\nSaint Daniel Comboni, or Daniele Comboni, (March 15, 1831 - October 10, 1881) was a Roman Catholic priest and saint from Italy, who was appointed a Bishop in Africa.\n\nComboni was born in Brescia, Italy, in a poor farming family. He was the only one of 8 children who survived childhood. He went to Verona to study in the Mazza Institute, founded by Fr. Nicola Mazza. He was ordained a priest in 1854, and three years later departed for Africa with five other missionaries from the Mazza Institute.\n\nAfter a four month journey, they reached their destination of Khartoum, Sudan. Most of his fellow missionaries died, which inspired him more than ever to dedicate his life to the people of Africa. He returned to Italy in 1864 to develop a new missionary strategy, and to enlist financial and spiritual support throughout Europe.\n\nBetween several return trips to Africa, Comboni founded a mission for priests in 1867, and a mission for sisters in 1872. They became known as the "Comboni Missionaries" and the "Comboni Missionary Sisters", or, "Verona Fathers" and "Verona Sisters", respectively. He took part in the First Vatican Council as the theologian of the Bishop of Verona, and convinced 70 Bishops to sign a petition for the evangelisation of Central Africa.\n\nIn 1877, Comboni was named Vicar Apostolic of Central Africa, amidst a severe two-year drought there resulting in many deaths from starvation. One year after his eighth and last trip to Africa in 1880, he died of natural causes in Khartoum.\n\nHe was canonized on October 5, 2003 by Pope John Paul II, as were Joseph Freinademetz and Arnold Janssen.

The Pope. He presides over a congregation of over 1 billion believers. Which makes Catholicism, and vis-a-vis him, the most dominant form of Christianity out there.

St. Florian - According to the American Catholic web site, St. John of God is one of the Patron Saints of Firemen. His day is listed as March 8, perhaps it should be moved to September 11 in remembrance of all the NY City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The other Saint listed is Florian.
