A message from Fr John

Dear Friends

Many apologies for the late start to Mass yesterday - I got distracted after the Funeral and we didn’t start until 12.15pm

The Acts of the Apostles is a remarkable story; it relates how the early Christians found a sense of identity as they emerged from misunderstandings and persecutions. They struggled to work out what made them different from their neighbours both Jews and Gentiles - was it diet and other legal requirements or was it something different.
They came to understand that it was the Holy Spirit who would guide and direct them through all their struggles both within their own communities and in relation to their Jewish origins.
This would then enable them to become missionaries to the gentile world - a mission that we continue to share in.

In these difficult times let us too turn to the Holy Spirit asking for wisdom and courage to say and do the right things.

We pray for all those who are sick:
Evelyn, Winnie C., Mary, Patrick, Paul & Adela

And for those who have died:
Roy, Alf, Malcolm, Elsie, Matthew, Stella, Chris, Kenneth, Carol Ann, Ingeburg, Winnie Y., Patricia M., Eileen, Maureen, Joan, Frank, Robert, Lynda, Cecilia, Lourdes, John, Michael, Dale, Eileen, Michael, Graham, Maria, Andrew & Gladys
Remembering too all those who mourn them

St Joseph the Worker, pray for us

Every blessing

Fr John
