For their patron they chose St. Paul the Hermit, thereby acquiring the name of the Order of St. Paul the Hermit, in short "Pauline Fathers".

The monastic order spread throughout the countries of Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Austria and Bavaria. After a period of time the government ordered the closing of many monasteries.
