Jesus selected 12 people, called Apostles to carry out His project/mission of Evangelization
They were His Core
There were also more apostles. But always the main ones, those who will receive the most intimate teaching, were Them.
In fact, one of the Apostles is: "St. Peter<without_initial_number>" who is the first Pope
Sent in pairs, and without superfluous belongings, they evangelized where they were received, and will remain long enough to Evangelize the Word
They are:
Saint Peter
Saint James the Elder
Saint Andrew
Saint John
Saint Philip
Saint Barthélemy
Saint Thomas
Saint Matthew
Saint James the Less
Saint Simon
Saint Jude Thaddeus
Saint Jude Iscariot
It can be a good habit to be able to learn, not only the name, but also some characteristic of each one to enter more and more into our History of the Faith:

75 "Christ the Lord, in whom the entire Revelation of the most high God is summed up, commanded the apostles to preach the Gospel, which had been promised beforehand by the prophets, and which he fulfilled in his own person and promulgated with his own lips. In preaching the Gospel, they were to communicate the gifts of God to all men. This Gospel was to be the source of all saving truth and moral discipline."32
