Saints of the Week:
The Chair of St. Peter, Apostle, February 22nd.
This ancient feast relates to early Roman custom at this time of the year of remembering the ancestors of the family, those who presided The Chair of St. Peter over the family fortunes. The texts today celebrate Peter as Bishop of Rome. We recall Christ’s choice of Peter for service to the whole church.
St. Polycarp, February 23rd.
St. Polycarp was bishop of Smyrna or Izmir in modern Turkey. He was born around the year 69 and was a disciple of St. John the Apostle. He was martyred in 155.
