Timothy and Titus, recipients of the three "Pastoral Epistles" attributed to Paul in the New Testament, were notable early Christians. Timothy was a faithful, younger associate of Paul, and Titus was also a Christian convert on whom Paul relied. Today is their feast day in the Roman Catholic Church and the ELCA; in 1969 the Catholic Church assigned the day to immediately follow the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. The ELCA also honors Silas on this day. The Orthodox Church honors Titus on August 25 and commemorates him on 25 August and Timothy on January 22.
