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

With even a little faith in God, we have great power to do his work, to do good. But with that great gift comes responsibility. We have a duty to share that gift with others and seek to serve the Lord in all we do. And so we must ask ourselves: how will I do that today?

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,Yen & John.
