Parish News for the 17th Week in Ordinary Time
This Sunday is the 17th in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel reading Jesus speaks in parables about searching and finding and he likens the Kingdom of God to a pearl of great value. In many ways this is a wake-up call not to take our life of faith for granted but instead to nurture the gift of faith that assures us that we are all beloved children of God.
