Parish News: The 20th Sunday and Week of the Year

Jesus begins his minstry amongst the Jewish people: the lost sheep of the House of Israel. By healing the daughter of a Canaanite woman, the member of a pagan tribe, Jesus shows that it is faith in him and not ethnicity that matters when it comes to recognising who the Son of God is.
