Origen de la fiesta San Pedro
y San Pablo son apóstoles,
tes-tigos de Jesús que dieron un gran testimonio. Se dice que son las dos columnas del edifi-cio de la fe cristiana. Dieron su vida por Jesús y gracias a ellos el cristianismo se extendió por todo el mundo.
Los cadáveres de San Pedro y San Pablo estuvieron sepul-tados juntos por unas décadas, después se les devolvieron a sus sepulturas originales. En 1915 se encontraron estas tumbas y, pintadas en los muros de los sepulcros, expre-siones piadosas que ponían de manifiesto la devoción por San Pedro y San Pablo desde los inicios de la vida cristiana. Se cree que en ese lugar se llevaban a cabo las reuniones de los cristianos primitivos. Esta fiesta doble de San Pedro y San Pablo ha sido conmemorada el 29 de Junio desde en-tonces.
El sentido de tener una fiesta es recordar lo que estos dos grandes santos hicieron, aprender de su ejemplo y pedirles en este día especialmente su intercesión por nosotros.
The remaining dates for the new season are: July 2, Au-gust 6, September 10 and October 1. In doing Spring cleaning, if you discover any useful, no-longer needed items in good condition, please consider donating them, to the parish fundraising table at the Flea Market.
We cannot accept appliances, furniture or clothing. Thank you. BELOW: The June 4th First Mass here of newly-ordained Father Pil-koo John Hwang. Our Ko-rean parishioners are to be commended for having nurtured and supported the calling, formation and seminary training that led Father John to this day. Before beginning his parish assignment at St. Robert’s in Bayside, Father John made a brief trip (with his parents) to Korea to celebrate a First Mass in his homeland as well.
