Paulini

The full name of the Pauline Order is Ordo Sancti Pauli Primi Eremitae – Order of St. Paul the First Hermit (OSPPE). The name is derived from the name of St. Paul the Hermit of Thebes, who lived in southern Egypt in the years 228 – 341, and who was officially recognised by the Church as the first hermit during the canonization, which took place in 491 in Rome, under Pope Gelasius I.

Currently, the Pauline Order is still developing. In Poland, apart from Jasna Gora, where there is the General House, the Pauline monasteries and religious houses are in Bachledówka near Zakopane, Błotnica near Radom, Brdów, Czestochowa – Święta Barbara (house of Novitiate for the brothers), in Krakow at Skalka (Monastery and Seminary), Leśna Podlaska, Leśniów – Żarki (house of Novitiate), Łęczeszyce, Oporów near Kutno, Łukęcin, Pauliny-Mochów, Toruń, Warsaw, Wielgomłyny, Wieruszów, Włodawa, Wrocław and Żarki-Letnisko. The Pauline Order also has monasteries in many European countries (e.g. in Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Germany and Italy) and is present in the United States and Australia, as well as in the missions in South Africa and Cameroon. At present, the Order has approx. 490 members.

The website is available in Polish and English.
