Parish News: The Twenty-Second Sunday and Week of the Year

Those who take honour for themselves are not truly honoured; it is the humble whom God exalts. Jesus tells a parable to expound this point in the context of a meal and so it is appropriate that the artwork this week shows how the Last Supper – the first Mass – is that meal to which all are invited. 

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

The Faithful departed
All who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s and those whose year’s mind falls this week.

Harvest Barn Dance – Save the Date! The band is booked for this on Friday 7th October. Put the date in your diaries now for this popular parish event, details to follow.

The cover art is an unattributed re-imagining of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper with today’s gospel in mind.

Looking ahead: On Sunday 23rd of October, Jonathan our Bishop will be coming to St Benet’s to offer the sacrament of Confirmation (and, if required, Baptism).
In this sacrament, the baptised receive a special and fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit to help them live the Christian faith to which they commit themselves. They are also admitted to Holy Communion.
There is a course of preparation required, which will begin in September. To find out more, speak to Father Guy.
