The Feast of SS Peter and Paul
This a Feast about the foundation and early spread of the Church but it is not just a commemoration and thanksgiving for that. It is also a reminder and celebration of how the Church always works – through the institutional hierarchy and though the charism of the Holy Spirit given to individuals to meet the needs of the changing world.
