A warm welcome to everyone. Tea and coffee are served after the 10.00am Mass on Sundays and the 09.30 Mass on Wednesdays; all are invited to join us. Father Alex offers a warm welcome to anyone who is visiting the parish this week.

Clergy Thought: The 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C invites us to reflect on the gift of prayer and our relationship with God. Through the readings, we learn how to speak with God, trust Him in all circumstances, and remain persistent in prayer. These reflections help us deepen our faith and open our hearts to God’s care and mercy. Just as a parent meets the needs of their family, God hears our prayers and responds. This does not mean we always get what we ask for, but we can trust that God knows what is best for us. Through Jesus, we have an even closer relationship with God, made possible by the Holy Spirit given to us in Baptism. We can call God “Father,” confident that He listens and answers our prayers. Amen! Fr Alex

ANIMA CHRISTI – Please check the first page of the Hymn Book for the prayer.
