The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul (also known as the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul) is observed on June 29. Saints Peter and Paul founded the See of Rome and are patron saints of the city. The solemnities of the two saints have been traditionally observed on the same day since the year 258.

My Schneider ancestors attended Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Remagen, Germany. After they immigrated to the United States, they attended Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in St. Louis, Missouri.
