It give me a lot of pleasure to write a message on these festivities of our Patron Saints Peter and Paul.
St. Peter and Paul were given the mission to go far and wide to spread the word of God.
They were abused where ever they went, they were stoned, arrested , persecuted and eventually martyred for their Lord Jesus
Christ..........
In our time, we are experiencing the same troubled times as our patrons and other followers of Christ has experienced.
We as knights and Ladies of St. Peter and Paul have a commitment to practice our mission to help the persecuted Christians in the Middle East and Africa, by donating some money to help them in their sufferings.........
God Bless you and the people you touch.
Happy feast of St. Peter and St. Paul
