Parish News for the 28th Week in Ordinary Time

October 12, 2023 by James Elston in Weekly News

This Sunday is the 28th in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel reading Jesus tells the Parable of the Wedding Banquet. The guests who are first invited refuse to come and so the host opens up the feast to all. It is wonderful image of God’s welcome for all, to sit and eat at his table. Click here for the Scripture Readings.
