St. Paul after whom this School is named was not merely a saint but a scholar of repute during his day; He is also reserved as an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, whose original anme was Saul, was born in Tarsus in Cecilia(Greece) in the first decade of the first century in a Hebrew family. By virtue of Tarsus being in the Roman Empire, he was also a Roman citizen by birth. He had a thorough knowledge of Greek too and was tutored by Gamaliel a great scholar-philsopher of those days.He grew up not merely as an orthodox Jew. But a Jewish fanatic as well. He persecuted the Cristians, putting the Christian into jail and death.Once he had set out for Damasuis to persecute and arrest the Christians there. On way he had a vision of the Lord Jesus Christ and at that very instant he became a Christian and ironically the persecutor became a propogator of Christianity.

He took upon himself the responsibilty of preaching the Gospel to the 'Gentiles'- meaning the non-Jews.

He understood three missionary journeys travelling by ship and road begining from Macedomia and finishing at Ephesus. He shuttled to and fro Jerusalem. During this period he had faced shipwrecks, arrests and physical torture survived assassination attempts, imprisonments after trials in loyal and religious courts.Finally he appealed to the Caesar at Rome for justice. After a long voyage, Paul was taken to Rome. But by then Nero becomes the Caesar who adopted a policy to persecute the Christians. Around 68 A.D. Paul was put to death by Nero.

Paul was an outstanding public speaker, prolific wrietr exhoring moral and spiritual values. Before his marks to death he had established scores of churches and fostered many church leaders. He was an advocate of the subline love of God and his poem on "LOVE" is found in his letter to the church at Corinthian.(I Cor: 13). Itis an immortal piece of enlogising love as 'summun bonum' of life. He was also a great theologic teacher.

In order to prepare oneself for a life of dedication, commitment, selfless service and generosity, one has to undergo long years of rigorous training. The same road as his other campanions.
