Faith - Magazine - Page 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of two great
saints who have helped to share faith throughout
the world, St Peter and St Paul.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Peter professes his faith
in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Jesus then gives Peter the important task of leading
the Church – a duty which is now undertaken by
Pope Leo XIV, the current successor of St Peter.

Helping our children to grow in faith, to know and to
love God, is one of the greatest gifts we can give
them. Faith in God transforms how we see the world
and helps us to keep growing in our love for each
other too.
Enjoy hearing your child’s thoughts about this
Sunday’s Gospel and this Wednesday’s word,
which is FAITH.

A Word from
the Saints
“Faith is to believ e what you do not see; the reward of
this faith is to see what you believ e.” St Augustin e of Hippo
THE GOSPEL IN CHURCH
Sunday 28th June 2026
When Jesus came to the region
of Caesarea Philippi he put this
question to his disciples, “Who do
you say I am?” Then Simon Peter
spoke up, “You are the Christ,” he
said, “the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Simon son of Jonah, you are a
happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood
that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven.
So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this
rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the
underworld can never hold out against it. I will
give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
whatever you bind on earth shall be considered
bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth
shall be considered loosed in heaven.”
Adapted from Matthew 16:13-19
