Whole School Mass

On Thursday 29 June 2023 all families are invited to join us for a EucharisWc CelebraWon commencing at 9.00am at Infant Jesus Church.

At this EucharisMc CelebraMon we give thanks for St Peter and St Paul whose feast day is 29 June. Both St Peter and St Paul were called by Jesus to share and be the Good News.

St Peter was a fisherman who, with the eleven disciples, worked with Jesus to share his message. He was a leader in the group and a leader in the early Church. He wrote le\ers to help communiMes understand Jesus’ teachings. St Peter was originally named Simon – Jesus called him the ‘rock’ on which he would build his Church. St Peter also worked the first public miracle –curing the lame man at the temple gate. He also welcomed the first person who was not Jewish into the Church. People thought that just his shadow passing by would cure them.

St Paul became the greatest ChrisMan missionary. He was originally called Saul. He was a Jewish pharisee, who, at first, did not understand the teachings of Jesus. He experienced the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus and ajer that dedicated his life to God and sharing his faith with others. For about thirty years St Paul travelled to many places preaching and sharing the Good News. He also wrote many le\ers to the communiMes that he visited so that they could learn more about Jesus and his message.
