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.
