📌 Reflecting on Last Week - 22 January 2023:
Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Homily Take-Aways (Father Tom Gills)...
When is the last time you experienced a major event in your relationship with God?
Let us be Followers of Christ, not just Fans.
We do this in Community, with each other and supporting each other. "An ember removed from the fire soon grows cold."
God is calling - and equipping - ALL of us to be "Essential Personnel" in His Kingdom, and to help build His Kingdon.
đź” Looking Ahead to Next Week - 29 January 2023:
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (liturgical color: Green)
Papal Intentions...
Papal intention for January 2023: "For Educators"

Please come and join us for worship and the Sacraments, and receive God's peace, forgiveness, and presence.
We cordially invite you to join us for the celebration of Mass!
