Saint Peter

Feast: June 29 - Solemnity
Born: Unknown Died: 64AD

St. Peter was the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. He was a fisherman before being called as an apostle. St. Peter died around 64 AD by crucifixion. But St. Peter was crucified upside down because he did not feel he was worthy to die in the same manner as our Lord Jesus Christ. He has two epistles attributed to himself. St. Peter is mentioned in the Roman Canon. He is the Patron Saint of Bakers, Clock Makers, Fisherman, worms, and Rome.

Prayer to Saint Peter

O Glorious Saint Peter, because of your vibrant and generous faith, sincere humility and flaming love our Lord honored you with singular privileges and especially leadership of the whole Church. Obtain for us the grace of a living faith, a sincere loyalty to the Church, acceptance of all her teaching, and obedience to all her precepts. Let us thus enjoy an undisturbed peace on earth and everlasting happiness in heaven. Amen.
