St. Paulinus of Nola
Feast: June 22nd
b. 353 d. 431

St. Paulinus was born in Bordeaux, France to a Senatorial family. He was well educated and advanced through the government ranks. He married a Spanish Lady, Theresia, who told him of her belief in living a strictly evangelical life. After the death of their son, St. Paulinus sold all their possesions and moved to Nola where he started a monastic community. He was later made bishop of Nola and served for 20 years before his death.
