Information About

Pauline Fathers




The order was founded in 1250 by Boldog Özséb of Esztergom (Eusebius, cc 12001270 ), Hungary , in the Pilis mountains to the north of today's Budapest . Their first cloister, the Holy Cross was built in the Pilis, near the Hármas cave.

This name is derived from the Hermit Saint Paul Of Thebes (d. c. 345 ), canonized in 491 by Pope Gelasius I . After his death, a monastery taking him as its model was founded on Mount Sinai and still exists today.
