29 June 2024 - Sts Peter and Paul, Apostles
Update: 2024-05-29
Description
St Peter, also known as Simon Peter, was one of Jesus’ original 12 apostles. St Paul had a dramatic conversion after he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, and became an Apostle to the Gentiles. While far from perfect disciples of Christ, both men were steadfast in their single-minded faith and equally devoted to their flocks. Both were martyred on the same date, 29 June, 67 A.D. St Peter is the patron saint of fishermen, netmakers, shipbuilders and locksmiths, while St Paul is the patron saint of missionaries, theologians, evangelists and Gentile Christians.
