帕弗罗出生于埃及底比斯南部的一个富有家庭,当时正值皇帝德西乌斯统治时期。帕弗罗同他的妹妹继承了他们父母的财产。但是帕弗罗的妹夫——一个拜偶像者却想吞没帕弗罗继承的那一份财产。他威胁帕弗罗说,如果不把他的产业交出,他就将其基督徒身份揭发出来。帕弗罗一方面遭遇了此不幸,另一方面,他也亲眼看到了那些殉道基督徒勇敢地自我奉献的例子,由此激发了他作出决定:将他的财产全部让给他的妹妹,自己作为一名穷人隐退到旷野中,终身修行。这位伟大的修士所达到的灵性高度有很多人都可以见证,其中包括大圣安托尼。有一次,大圣安托尼拜访帕弗罗,亲眼目睹了走兽和飞禽服侍他的情景。回来后,大圣安托尼对他的弟子们说:“我的孩子们,我是个不幸的亏折者。我是一个有罪的、虚伪的修士,我只是徒有修士之名而已。我见到了这位圣者,就如见到了先知伊利亚、见到了旷野中的约安,我真真切切地见到了帕弗罗生活在天堂里。”圣帕弗罗活了113岁,于公元342年安息主怀。
