St. Thomas Were the orignal twelve chosen followers of Christ. There was also Judas Iscariot, but after his betrayal of Christ, St. Matthias was chosen to replace him. Apostle means 'one who is sent out'; Jesus sent his Apostles out into the world to spread the Good News. It should be noticed that the Twelve are not the only Apostles. For a start, St. Paul was called (by the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus) to the same vocation; and many others, whether officially entitled apostle or not, have been sent out in the millennia since.
