Students from all year groups were led by staff and Sixth Form to attend a mass at St. Michael’s Church. It took motivation and hard work from Mr Katumba to organise this trip, which took place on the 29th June. The mass celebrated the solemnity of St Peter and St Paul as it was a Holy day of obligation. St Peter and St Paul were two great Christian Martyrs who were prepared to stand by their faith in spite of persecution, or threats of death.

St. Peter was a humble fisherman who occasionally rebuked Jesus. He recognised the true nature of Jesus but also denied him when his life was being threatened. However, he is an example today of faith because he repented for his sins and was forgiven by Jesus.

St. Paul was a Jewish leader at first who saw Christianity as a threat. He persecuted the followers of Jesus before converting to Christianity on the road to Damascus. He had an apparition from the risen Lord to preach but he suffered for his newfound belief. He had several stints in prison and suffered a gruesome martyrdom in Rome AD 62.
