Parish News: The 22nd Sunday and Week of the Year

‘Heaven preserve you Lord!’  – Peter is horrified that Jesus, the Christ, must suffer. But it is only through suffering that the world can be redeemed. Suffering and pain of many kinds is a fact of life, but through the power of the Cross, our sufferings can be transformed into the means of grace and the hope of glory.

You can donate using card online to support St Benet’s: every penny counts! You can also donate by cash or card in person, by texting BENET followed by your donation amount to 70450 to give that amount. Or why not set up a regular standing order with your bank?
