Feast of Sts Peter and 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. To them Rome owes her true greatness, for it was under
God's providential guidance that they were led to make the capital of the Empire,
sanctified by their martyrdom, the centre of the Christian world whence should
radiate the preaching of the Gospel.
St. Peter suffered martyrdom under Nero, in A.D. 66 or 67. He was buried on the hill
of the Vatican where recent excavations have revealed his tomb on the very site of the
basilica of St. Peter's. St. Paul was beheaded in the via Ostia on the spot where now
stands the basilica bearing his name. Down the centuries Christian people in their
thousands have gone on pilgrimage to the tombs of these Apostles. In the second and
third centuries the Roman Church already stood pre-eminent by reason of her
apostolicity, the infallible truth of her teaching and her two great figures, Sts. Peter
and Paul. A plenary indulgence may be gained today by anyone who makes devout use
of a religious article blessed by a bishop and who also recites any approved profession
of faith (e.g. the Apostles Creed), as long as the usual conditions are satisfied.

We hope that the staff and students of Carraroe National School have a good and safe
