Saints Peter and Paul Feast Day

Last Friday, we celebrated the Feast Day of our Patrons, Peter and Paul the Apostles. Fr Greg Beath celebrated Mass with us at 12pm, and in the afternoon, the students were given a choice of a variety of activities to enjoy together as a fun way to celebrate our school and our community. Thank you to staff for the contributions they made to this wonderful day.

Sunday Gospel: Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time  – Year C

Today’s Gospel passage immediately follows the passage used last week that spelt out the difficulties of discipleship. Having explained how hard it is to be a disciple, Jesus now sends his followers out to ‘have a go’ at being a disciple. Jesus tells the disciples to travel lightly, accept hospitality where it is offered, and be gracious in eating what you are given. The disciples are to trust that they will find the resources for their mission.

Jesus also adds a warning that disciples will not always be well received. By the time of the Gospel, Christians had begun to experience persecution from Rome and some have been martyred for their faith.
