20/09/2026 [1] With the Twenty-Fifth Sunday Year A we celebrate Jesus the Prophet of Justice and of a New Way for our world. In his parable today he teaches us that we are all equal and equally valued in God’s eyes. God wants us to make sure that the needs of every human person is met. So what about the unemployed, the homeless, the victims of war, poverty and global warming? He also teaches us that we cannot earn God’s love, because God’s love is a free gift given to everyone without exception.

PRAY FOR THIS WEEK’S PARISH MINISTRY OR MISSION We pray for our Ministry of Altar Serving. We rejoice in our excellent team of Altar Servers who enable and enhance our Sunday Liturgy. They work so well together they are an example to all our parish of great team work. We will train new altar servers (boys and girls of any age after they have celebrated their First Eucharist) starting in October – the precise time to be confirmed. Please see Richard or Mary.
DIOCESAN PRAYER We pray for the parish in communion for Mission of St Mary Bath, served by Fr James Finan, Pastoral Assistant Theresa Tunbridge, Parish Administrator Charlotte Boyall and all their community. Please remember former parish priest, Mgr Jeremy Rigden who has recently retired.
