Paulists, or Paulines, is the name used for several Roman Catholic Orders and Congregations taken in honour and under the patronage of St. Paul the Hermit.
From the time that the abode and virtues of St. Paul were revealed to St. Antony the Abbot, various communities of hermits adopted him as their patron saint. These are treated on this page.
The name Paulists, however, was also applied to the members of congregations established under the patronage of St. Paul the Apostle.
