Parish News: Thirteenth Sunday and Week of the Year

In the Gospel reading for today we hear some hard words from the Lord. Jesus challenges those who would follow him, and he is trying to make us think. It’s all a question of priorities: do we put God first, or something or someone else?
 
You can read the scripture readings for this Sunday here. 

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny & John.
