Today we show some photos of St Peter's Keys taken by parishioners on Easter Sunday.
Gerry and Bernadette May took a copy of St Peter's Key's to Japan and on Easter Sunday visited another Cathedral.

Gerry writes:
We took the keys to the Catholic Cathedral in Kyoto whose
patron saint is St Francis Xavier. The original building was built in 1890
after Japan abolished the edict forbidding Christianity. The new modern
building was consecrated in June 1967. We attended the English language Easter
Sunday service given by a Dutch priest who had been in Japan 37 years. One of
the highlights was the singing by the Filipino women members of the
congregation. Prior to our service there had been a Mass in Japanese celebrated
by the Bishop of Kyoto, Paul Yoshinao Otsuka.
Next week we'll post some of the other images we have of St Peter's keys.
