Saint
Phoebe: Deacon of Cenchreae — Bearer of the Letter to the Romans
Episode
#58
Welcome
to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints. And this week, we
are going to travel from the bustling port of Cenchreae to the marble skyline of
ancient Rome. This episode traces the
extraordinary journey of Saint Phoebe — the woman Saint Paul called diakonos
and prostatis.
Though mentioned only briefly in
Scripture, Phoebe’s impact on Christian history is immense. She carried the
Epistle to the Romans across the sea, interpreted it for the first believers in
Rome, and embodied the courage, generosity, and leadership that shaped the
early Church.
Her
story unfolds through archaeology, Scripture, cultural history, and theological
insight — culminating in the celebration of her feast day, where Christians
honor her as patron of deacons, women in ministry, and benefactors. This film
reveals the radiant legacy of the woman who carried Paul’s greatest letter and
whose service continues to inspire the Church today.
You
won’t want to miss it!
