Peter and Paul
Saint Peter, original name Simon,
disciple of Jesus, recognized in the
early Christian church as the leader of
the disciples and by Catholics as the
first of its unbroken succession of
popes. Peter, a fisherman, was called to
be a disciple of Jesus at the beginning
of his ministry. He received from Jesus
the name Cephas ( rock or latin petra).
St. Paul, was the indefatigable Apostle
of the Gentiles and a great missionary.

Sts Peter & Paul
Veneration of the two great Apostles,
Peter and Paul, has its roots in the very foundations of the
Church. They are the solid rock on which the Church is
built. They are at the origin of her faith and will forever
remain her protectors and her guides. Tradition tells us that
St. Peter suffered martyrdom under Nero, in A.D. 66 or 67.
He was buried on the hill of the Vatican where recent
excavations believe they have revealed his tomb on the very
site of the basilica of St. Peter's. St. Paul, known by his
Roman name Saul before his conversion, was beheaded on
the via Ostia on the spot where now stands the basilica
bearing his name. He is famous for his many missionary
journeys around the Mediterranean and was brought to
Rome because of his high distinction of being a Roman
citizen.
Do you know why St Peter is depicted with ‘Crossed Keys’
and St Paul with a ‘sword’? Checkout your Bible for some
ideas - Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 6: 10-18. Also think about
how these great Apostles were killed/martyred?
From the outside, when you leave this Church today,
look above the main doorway and see do you notice
anything connecting this Church with today’s feast day
and with the Universal Catholic Church!!!
