Parish News: Twenty Sixth Sunday and Week of the Year

In colourful language, Jesus warns the disciples not to allow anything to get in the way of their relationship with God. It’s so easy to be distracted from what really matters by all kinds of things – especially ourselves and our own priorities. So we must try to see what it is that is in the way, and pluck it out.

St Benet’s is self supporting: we receive no central church or government funding, so you can donate using card online to support St Benet’s: and every penny really does count! 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?

You can find the readings for this coming Sunday here.

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Brenda, Cordelia, Lolita, Reece, Vanessa, John and Chinye.
The Faithful departed
All who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s, the recently departed and those whose year’s mind falls this week.
