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

In a world that puts personal choice and pleasure before all else, Jesus’ teaching is deeply unfashionable. It was ever so. He encourages us to tread that narrow path which leads to heaven and reminds us that it is not the easy choice; and it begins with not putting ourselves first.

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

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.
