Parish News: Elizabeth II RIP; The 24th Sunday and Week of the Year

We hear this week the parables of The Prodigal Son, The Lost Sheep and The Lost Drachma. All point to the same reality: each of us is so precious to God that he earnestly desires us to turn to him. We can find ourselves lost or wandering at points in our lives, but we will always be welcomed back with open arms. 

You can read the scriptures for this week here.

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.
