After having preached alongside Paul in several cities, he was consecrated bishop of the island of Crete.
At the same time, Paul writes to the new bishop attesting to the truth and importance of the teaching of Christ received from the Apostles, a matter not dispensable, but absolutely necessary for salvation: “This statement is true, and I want you to remain firm in this, so that those who believe in God try to excel in the practice of good works. This is good and profitable for men” (Titus 3:8).
Today, in Gortyn (Crete) the ruins of a basilica dedicated to Saint Titus are preserved. In the capital of the Mediterranean island, Heraklion, there is a church dedicated to the saint, where his relics have been preserved since 1966. Before that year they were in Venice (Italy), where they had to be moved in times when that Crete fell under Turkish rule.
