Saint Peter, originally named Simon, was a fisherman by trade before being called to follow Jesus Christ. His life is a remarkable journey of transformation, faith, and leadership that laid the groundwork for early Christianity. As one of the first disciples, Peter's experience with Jesus provided him with profound insights into the nature of faith and the mission of the Church. His encounters with Christ, from the miraculous catch of fish to his proclamation of Jesus as the Messiah, marked him as a central figure among the apostles and established his role as a foundational leader in the nascent Christian community.
