The Feast of the Chair of St Peter is on February 22nd and on this day, we celebrate that Jesus called (Simon) Peter to be the ROCK upon which His Church would be built.
St. Peter was the first Pope. While there might be a chair in Rome that St. Peter is believed to have sat on, the Chair of St. Peter represents the Papacy, the Office of the Pope and the Line of Succession of Popes.

Equipping Catholic Families for February Saints Days!
This is our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days, and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar. As our kids get older, our activities and commitment to Catholic crafts have changed and adjusted (at least for our last TEEN and young adult kids)! While we haven’t exactly been adding a lot of Catholic crafts around here, we do enjoy pulling out the crafts and programs we’ve developed over the years, sometimes sharing them with younger families in our parish!
