Missionary and bishop. Paulinus was a Roman monk sent by Pope St. Gregory I the Great to England in 601 with the mission begun by St. Augustine of Canterbury. He labored in Kent and, in 625, was consecrated bishop and sent to Northumbria with Queen Ethelburga. At Easter in 627, he baptized King Edwin and many of his subjects.
After Edwin was killed in 633, Paulinus returned to Kent with Ethelburga and her household. He became bishop of Rochester and served there until his death in 644. His feast is October 10.
