We have already reached half way for the term, how quickly time goes by!

Today’s Reading of the day- 8th November 2023

Wednesday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time

A reading from the 

Letter of St. Paul to the Roman 

Rom 13:8-10

Brothers and sisters:

Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another;

for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 

The commandments, You shall not commit adultery;

you shall not kill;

you shall not steal;

you shall not covet,

and whatever other commandment there may be, 

are summed up in this saying, namely,

You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

Love does no evil to the neighbor;

hence, love is the fulfillment of the law

If you or anyone you know is interested in being a carer or helping out where needed, this workshop will be very insightful and rewarding.

Knowing our local church.

Holy Family Catholic Parish is a welcoming, supportive community of believers inspired by the life of Jesus. We are called to make Christ present in our parish, in our local community and in our world.

Some questions that sometimes get asked about the church & the answer is sometimes unsure. 

Did you know? 

The 1st collection is for our priests and the running of the Presbytery. The residue goes to the central fund in the Archdiocese for sick, retired priests and for poor parishes.

The second collection is to run our parish.

November Mass offering envelopes will be available from the church foyer or parish office, for repose of the souls of loved ones. Take an envelope and place a donation and write the name or names of those you would like to offer a Mass for. Wonderful way to pay homage to those not with us anymore.

Sometimes we would like to attend Mass but can’t remember the Mass times.                                     

I have added them in the newsletter for easy reference.
