In the modern Roman Catholic Church there is only one way to achieve "official sainthood" -- canonization. However, this was not always the case. Before 950 AD, there were two ways that one could achieve official sainthood: through martyrdom and through the public acclamation of the faithful.
The date recognized by the Roman Catholic Church for the martyrdom of St. Paul is 67 AD with no month or day specified. Thus, 67 AD is the date for his official recognition as a saint.
The 29th of June is the day that has been chosen to observe the martyrdom of Paul. June 29 is the day his official sainthood is celebrated.

∙ 9y agoSt. Paul was not canonized. He was proclaimed a saint by early Christians because of his martyrdom. The modern canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Church Body.
