Welcome!

New parishioners are asked to register by calling or visiting the parish office or by speaking to one of the parish staff.

WHY A CATHOLIC CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE A REGISTERED PARISHIONER

The precepts of the Church explained that: we need to belong to a parish (your parish is the Church in the City where you are domiciled) and to contribute to its support. Everyone should do this (Canon 107).

To identify yourself with a worshipping community of faith. Salvation comes to us by God in community. Religion is not meant to be individualistic. Membership in a parish community is the norm.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly

“‘It is not good for the man to be alone.’ I will make a suita-ble partner for him…That is why a man leaves father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh…whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.’ Then he embraced them and blessed them placing his hands on them.”

The Genesis creation story is the first sign of God’s loving concern for His creation. The history of human kind repeats the account as efforts are made for suitable partners. Jesus’ care was of such great importance that He made holy matrimony one of the grace giving sacraments of the church. Pope Francis in his wonderful exhortation The Joy of Love, describes marriage as a lifelong project to be undertaken, a work in progress on a daily basis. Encouraging couples to overlook the deficiencies which are part of everyday life, he asks us to build our relationship on four pillars: patience, understanding, tolerance and generosity. Each one is the gift I can offer my suitable partner. ‘Would that the Lord would bestow…’ He has, now it is our turn.

First Reading: Genesis 2:18-24 God created many different animals in an attempt to make a suitable partner for the first man. Then he took a rib from the man as he slept and built it up into a woman. At last God had created someone who equaled the man, as she was "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" and they proved to be suitable part-ners for each other. Second Reading: Hebrews 2:9-11 This passage describes how Jesus will become perfect through his suffering. It also reminds us that Jesus’ Father is our Father as well, making him unashamed to call us his brothers and sisters. Gospel: Mark 10:2-16 The people began to ask Jesus if it was acceptable for a man to divorce his wife. Jesus tells them that two people who have been joined together by God should not be separated. People began bringing their children to Jesus, but the disciples tried to send them away. Jesus grew angry and told his disciples to allow the children to come to him.
