25th JULY 2010
SEVENTEENTH ORDINARY SUNDAY (C)
We can approach God with confidence because Jesus has opened the way for us through his death and resurrection. Jesus teaches us to address God as ‘Our Father’ and to ask him for what we need in order to live as his sons and daughters.

VIGILANCE AROUND CHURCH Extra vigilance around the church building is always wise during the holiday periods. So, if you are around, please call in. Traffic in and out helps to improve security; and, of course, you may benefit from the peace and stillness you will find.
