Yesterday's feast

Together with the whole Church we celebrated the apostles Peter and Paul yesterday. The morning Mass was attended by St Clare's School, and was their leavers' Mass. We thought about how St Peter left home, family and his job as a fishermen and St Paul left behind his persecution of the Church. There will be sadness for us at leaving St Clare's, but many happy memories too, as we continue to follow the Lord on our journey through life.
We also thought about the visit of Pope Benedict, the successor of St Peter. Some of our children are hoping to see him during his visit.
