Our Patrons

---

ST PETER is the Patron saint of our church at Caboolture.

Peter was one of the Twelve Apostles who Jesus chose as his original disciples.  We read many accounts of Peter’s life in the New Testament Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles.

Peter was a Galilean fisherman, originally named Simon.  His name was changed to Peter, meaning the rock.  He is often depicted being given special roles of responsibility and leadership from Jesus.
​
After Jesus' death and resurrection, Peter continued Jesus’ work and is recognised as the first Pope.  Saint Peter is often referred to as “the rock on which the church was built”. 

His feast day is celebrated on 29th June.

ST THERESE OF LISEIUX is the Patron saint of our church at Bribie Island.  She was named as Patron Saint when the church was built in 1964.

Popularly known as the Little Flower, Therese of Lisieux was canonized in 1925 and is one of 3 female ‘Doctors of the Church’  It has been quoted that St. Therese's message is important to us today because, "Quite simply, her story reveals the truth of the gospel message of love." The greatest of all is that he has shown me my littleness and how, of myself, I am incapable of anything good. -St. Therese of Lisieux​

Her feast day is celebrated on 1st October.
