Saint Titus

A Gentile who came to the faith through Paul, Titus moved in the inner circle of the early mission. Paul sent him to Corinth with a fundraising appeal for Jerusalem's poor—Jerome later claimed Titus penned 2 Corinthians as Paul dictated. Afterward Paul deployed him to Crete, where Titus appointed presbyters in every city and shaped the island's church from the ground. Tradition holds he stayed through old age and died in Gortyna, the first bishop of Crete.
