THIRTEENTH ORDINARY SUNDAY (C)
AND PRIESTLY ORDINATION
We have been called by Christ to follow him in lives of sacrificial service to others. God gives us all that we need in order to do so.
A special welcome to Bishop John and all who are visiting us today for the Priestly Ordination of Fr Christopher Holden. Let us all pray for him and for who are being ordained at this time of the year.
