STS. PETER AND PAUL
On June 29 the Church celebrates the feast day of Sts. Peter & Paul. As early as the year 258, there is
evidence of an already lengthy tradition of celebrating the solemnities of both Saint Peter and Saint Paul on
the same day. Together, the two saints are the founders of the See of Rome, through their preaching, ministry
and martyrdom there.
Peter, who was named Simon, was a fisherman of Galilee and was introduced to the Lord Jesus by his
brother Andrew, also a fisherman. Jesus gave him the name Cephas (Petrus in Latin), which means ‘Rock,’
because he was to become the rock upon which Christ would build His Church.
Peter was a bold follower of the Lord. He was the first to recognize that Jesus was “the Messiah, the Son of
the living God,” and eagerly pledged his fidelity until death. In his boldness, he also made many mistakes,
however, such as losing faith when walking on water with Christ and betraying the Lord on the night of His
passion.
Yet despite his human weaknesses, Peter was chosen to shepherd God’s flock. The Acts of the Apostles
illustrates his role as head of the Church after the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ. Peter led the
Apostles as the first Pope and ensured that the disciples kept the true faith.
St. Peter spent his last years in Rome, leading the Church through persecution and eventually being
martyred in the year 64. He was crucified upside-down at his own request, because he claimed he was not
worthy to die as his Lord.
He was buried on Vatican hill, and St. Peter’s Basilica is built over his tomb.
St. Paul was the Apostle of the Gentiles. His letters are included in the writings of the New Testament, and
through them we learn much about his life and the faith of the early Church.
Before receiving the name Paul, he was Saul, a Jewish pharisee who zealously persecuted Christians in
Jerusalem. Scripture records that Saul was present at the martyrdom of St. Stephen.
Saul’s conversion took place as he was on his way to Damascus to persecute the Christian community
there. As he was traveling along the road, he was suddenly surrounded by a great light from heaven. He was
blinded and fell off his horse. He then heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
He answered: “Who are you, Lord?” Christ said: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”
Saul continued to Damascus, where he was baptized and his sight was restored. He took the name Paul and
spent the remainder of his life preaching the Gospel tirelessly to the Gentiles of the Mediterranean world.
Paul was imprisoned and taken to Rome, where he was beheaded in the year 67.
He is buried in Rome in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.
In a sermon in the year 395, St. Augustine of Hippo said of Sts. Peter and Paul: “Both apostles share the
same feast day, for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they were as one.
Peter went first, and Paul followed. And so we celebrate this day made holy for us by the apostles’ blood. Let
us embrace what they believed, their life, their labors, their sufferings, their preaching, and their confession of
faith.”

School News
Summer Camps are up and running and all indications are that both teachers
and students are enjoying themselves. We have come along with Saint
Andrew Summer! So many camps, with so many themes, so much fun!
Below you will find a picture of the rebuilding of our parapet wall and an artist’s
rendition of our Beyond the Walls Campaign that was done by our students,
under the direction of one of our very talented Moms! The work is proceeding on
schedule. Please keep in mind that we will be able to complete only one third of
this project this year. We continue to raise funds to support this overdue repair that
must be done before we can move on with the fun stuff (classroom expansion,
renovations. playground and green space)! We can push up our time line if we
can generate the additional revenue to complete the parapet project. Tell your
neighbors, tell your friends, tell your family that they can contribute directly to
Beyond the Walls by visiting our website, www.gosaintandrew.com and clicking
on Beyond the Wall giving link located under the ‘Hello Everybody’ section. Every
contribution goes directly to Saint Andrew School for this project.

WOMEN’S CENTER NEWS!!
At The Women’s Center women who are pregnant and in a difficult situation find compassion,
friendship and help. Very often they are being coerced into aborting their baby; but with our support,
they are able to give birth to their child. We receive beautiful “thank you” notes after their baby is born.
Please mark Saturday, October 4th on your calendar for our Bike/Hike for Life. More details will be
given later.
We need a strong Thursday Furniture Room volunteer(s) from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. until
4 p.m. to help distribute baby furniture and to act as a lobby/front desk substitute. We also have an
excellent opportunity for individuals or friends to work together. Volunteers are needed to clean baby
bottles for reuse in our “spare change” fundraising, anytime Monday thru Friday between 10 a.m. and 5
p.m. These are all at our Chicago office.
Baby diapers in sizes 1, 4, 5 and 6, crib linens, good condition maternity clothing and baby and
children’s clothing up to size 14 are needed for our Resource Room. These must be delivered to us
unless accompanied by baby furniture. To volunteer your help or donate, call Jackie at 773-794-8807 or

We are happy to pass on your used baby equipment to mothers who cannot afford to buy it. We have
a need for 5 infant/toddler car seats, 4 fixed side cribs, 4 crib mattresses and crib sheets, 3 toddler beds,
2 double strollers, 4 bouncers, 2 pack n plays, 3 swings and 2 changing tables. If your neighbors have
a garage sale, or if you attend one, please ask the sellers to donate items to us because our need is great
at this time. A receipt for all donations for tax purposes is available. It will be a great help if you can
deliver these to us. For our address, or if a pick-up by a volunteer is required, please call 773-794-1313.
****************************************************************************************
We, though many, are still one body in Christ.” And we, though husband and wife, became one body in our
Sacrament. Like Jesus feeds us with His Body, we need to feed our marriage body so that it grows and
is productive. Take time to feed your Sacrament. The next weekends are August 8-10, 2014 or October
10-12, 2014 or December 5-7, 2014, all at Burr Ridge, IL. Early registration is highly recommended. For
