Stewardship Reflection

“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if we are children then we are also heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” - Romans 8:16-17

If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our inheritance, using our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treas-ure to care for the Church that God has left to us? Our Church is a treasured heirloom from God. Do we treat it that way?

Wednesday Evening Mass

From Wednesday 13th June, Mass will be at 7.00pm (not 6.30) in Sacred Heart Church, and will be prayerful and can-dle lit.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy this peaceful, reflective Mass.
