Parish News for the 3rd Week in Ordinary Time
This Sunday is the 3rd in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel reading, we hear the call of the first disciples who left everything to follow the Jesus. Let us imitate their faith as we seek to follow Jesus in our own lives.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
This week we pray for the unity of Christians throughout the world with Ephesians 4.1-13 as our central text. Each of us is called to reflect on these verses which include the words, ‘There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.’ (Eph 4.4) There will be a Mass for Unity this Saturday at 10am with prayers for reunion with the See of Peter.
