You're listening to a podcast on Catholic Saints.

This podcast is produced by the Augustine Institute,

an apostolate helping Catholics understand, live, and share their faith.

Hi, welcome to Catholic Saints. My name is Mary McGeehan, and I work here at the Guston Institute,

and I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr. Elizabeth Klein, Professor here at the Graduate School.

Thanks for joining.

Thanks for having me.

Can you remind our audience of the specialties of theology that you teach on?

I teach the creed and the sacraments and the fathers.

Wonderful. Great, great range. And welcome to Catholic Saints. So this series is to dive into

the life of saints. Look to them for inspiration on our own path of the Christian life. So I'm excited

to dive into St. Paula the Elder, a saint I had not heard of

until Dr. Elizabeth Klein has mentioned her to me. Yeah, I've sent my list of weird saints,

and then they have to approve or disprove of the saints that I want to talk about, but they tend to

let me talk about whoever I want. So it's great. Yes, but it's usually a pleasant surprise.

And after learning a little bit

about her, I am excited for more people to know about her. She seems like a hidden gem that has made

a huge impact in the life of our lives, even today, that we often don't know who is the originator of.

So with that said, where should we start with St. Paula? So we'll start with dates.

So, St. Paula is, dates are 347 to 404.

So unsurprisingly, I characteristically like to talk about.

First, first of the early church.
