The Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit (Latin: Ordo Fratrum Sancti Pauli Primi Eremitae; abbreviated OSPPE),[2] commonly called the Pauline Fathers, is a monastic order of the Roman Catholic Church. It was founded in Hungary during the 13th century.
This name comes from the hermit Saint Paul of Thebes. After his death, the Monastery of Saint Paul the Anchorite was founded.
