Thursday 6th February 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 9th February…
is the 4th Sunday before Lent. In our Gospel reading we will hear about a miraculous catch of fish and how the first disciples left everything to follow their Lord. As we gather together as a church, let’s pray that the Lord works his wonders in our midst, freeing us to walk in obedience to the call that is on each of our lives. Because, just like the first disciples, Jesus summons us to share the good news. May we all be inspired to witness to him in word and deed over the coming week. And may we do so with confidence, assured of his promised liberation and thereby entrusting our future to him.
Sung Mass, with Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.
Fr Lincoln
