They changed the world. They can change your life.

A fisherman with a fiery temper and a scholar who hunted Christians-two unlikely men became the pillars of the Catholic Church. On the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, 29 June, the Church honours their memory and their continuing mission.
The Rock and the Apostle takes you inside their extraordinary lives: Peter's three denials and threefold restoration, Paul's blinding encounter on the Damascus Road, and the martyrdoms that watered the seeds of the Church with blood.
Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and ancient tradition, this parish booklet offers:

• Complete readings for the Solemnity with verse-by-verse commentary
• The life stories of both apostles-from Galilee to Rome
• Prayers, litanies, and reflection questions for personal or group use
• Practical applications for living apostolic faith today

Whether you are preparing for Confirmation, teaching a parish group, or simply seeking to deepen your Catholic faith, The Rock and the Apostle will help you stand on the foundation that has held for two thousand years.
"Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." -Matthew 16:18
