In a powerful display of unity, faith and hope, all 7 Lincolnshire Catholic primary schools and 1 secondary school came together to celebrate an Open-Air Mass at St Peter and St Paul’s school Catholic Voluntary Academy, in Lincoln. The event marked the Feast of St Peter and St Paul and also served as a joyful celebration of the Jubilee Year of Hope for Catholic schools across the county.

The Feast of St Peter and St Paul, celebrated annually in June, honours two of the most influential apostles in Christian history. St Peter, regarded as the first Pope, and St Paul, a great missionary, are both seen as pillars of the early Church. Their combined feast day is a powerful symbol of unity and shared mission, making it a fitting occasion for this large-scale gathering of Catholic school communities. On this very special occasion, the mass was concelebrated by 4 priests and 4 deacons which made the moment even more important.

This special Mass had over 800 attendees including pupils, staff, parishioners and members of the wider community. The celebration was graced by the presence of the Mayoral party, local faith leaders from various denominations and representatives from Catholic parishes throughout the city.

The Jubilee Year of Hope is a time for reflection, renewal, and rejoicing in the shared values that unite the Catholic school community. The Open-Air Mass featured music, prayer, and student participation – creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for all.
