I love that we are able to celebrate the Solemnity of St Peter and St Paul this weekend during our weekend liturgies. Unfortunately, I am out this weekend in southern California on a mission appeal and will not be with all of you. Celebrating this feast day of two very distinct saints with two very different personalities helps us appreciate the diversity in the unity of our faith. Peter came to the faith personally called by Jesus, traveling with Jesus in the intimate group of apostles. Peter was the first Pope and help found the institution of the Church. Paul was a persecutor of the Early Church who had a dramatic conversion experience after Christ’s death and resurrection. Paul was a courageous missionary who brought the Gospel to many different corners of the world. We are grateful for this two saints who have had such a profound impact on the Church. Blessings to you this weekend. Father Lincoln.
