Pauline Fathers
The Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit (; abbreviated OSPPE), commonly called the Pauline Fathers, is a monastic order of the Catholic Church founded in Hungary during the 13th century.

History The Order was formed in 1250 by the Blessed Eusebius of Esztergom () of two communities: one founded at around 1225 by Bishop Bartholomew of Pécs, who had united the scattered hermits of his diocese, and the other consisting of his own followers.
