Parish News: Twenty Second Sunday and Week of the Year

Pursuing good and avoiding evil is not something that can be done by just following rules and saying the ‘right things’. As Jesus explains to the Pharisees, lip service is not enough. Instead we must ask God to change our hearts and turn them towards him, so that our whole selves serve Him.
