.
St. Paul was an apostle (though not one of the 12 apostles) who taught the gospel of Christ in the 1st century to most of the gentile world.

During the Spanish Empire, several Spanish and Portuguese missionaries had sailed off to Asian and American continents, bringing Catholicism to many countries of the world.
