Parish News for 28th Week in Ordinary Time

October 10, 2024 by Churchwardens in Weekly News

This Sunday is the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Fr. David will celebrate Mass for us. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus tells a rich man to sell everything he owned and follow him, but the man can’t bring himself to so he goes away. Jesus tells his disciples, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
