Memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus

The work of evangelization is tedious and overwhelming, especially during the earliest years of the
Church. Such was the predicament faced by Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles. Reaching out to
budding Christian communities is hard work for only one man, and so he acquired help from his friends.
Today, January 26, we remember his two closest confidants: Saints Timothy and Titus.

According to New Testament accounts, Saints Timothy and Titus were companions of Saint Paul the Apostle. Both were committed to preaching the gospel and suffered for it.

Timothy’s faith was influenced by the example of his mother and grandmother.
