Parish News for 25th Week in Ordinary Time

This Sunday is the 25th in Ordinary Time. Fr. David will be with us to celebrate Mass. In Mark’s gospel, Jesus puts his arms around a child and tells his disciples: ‘Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.’
