Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

On June 29, the Holy Church reverently commemorates the Holy Glorious and All-Praised Apostles Peter and Paul, who are honored as two great pillars of the Church. Though vastly different in background, education, temperament, and even the way they died, they were united by the Holy Spirit in their deep love for God and their unwavering desire to serve Him fully.

The celebration of this feast is preceded by the Apostles' Fast, which begins on the Monday following Pentecost. It is a time of spiritual preparation as we draw closer to the witness and example of these two remarkable saints.

There is so much to say about the lives and legacy of Saints Peter and Paul that cannot fit in a single page. To learn more about their extraordinary journeys, we invite you to read this brief and inspiring article:
