Holy Family and St Peter's Key's


St Peter's Keys
Holy Family, Allestree Derby


St Peter's keys take a visit to Holy Family in Allestree which is in the Diocese of Nottingham.  


The modern stained glass is quite a contrast to that of the cathedral but the image of St Peter and his keys is one of 27 images of key episodes in Jesus' life.

Mary Woman of Faith
As part of their Year of Faith, Bishop Malcolm followed Pope Benedict XVI in dedicating the Year of Faith to the care and prayers of Mary.  Each parish has been given a copy of the icon below for display in church or to travel round the parish, similar to the travelling icons of the Lancaster diocese that are visiting secondary schools around Lancashire and Cumbria. The icon of Mary was especially commissioned for further details of the icon.

The Holy Family parish newsletter reported news of a new twitter account so we are posting this as something they can tweet about!  We welcome Holy Family readers and invite them and others to take a look at what Lancaster Cathedral have been doing as part of their Year of Faith activities
