Saint Titus

Saint Titus was an early Christian missionary and church leader, a companion and disciple of Paul the Apostle. He is believed to have been a Gentile converted to Christianity by Paul. According to tradition, he was consecrated as Bishop of the Island of Crete. Saint Titus brought a fundraising letter from Paul to Corinth, to collect for the poor in Jerusalem. Jerome mentions that Titus served as amanuensis for this epistle (2 Corinthians). Later, on Crete, Titus appointed presbyters (elders) in every city and remained there into his old age, dying in Gortyna.
