33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
God has entrusted us with gifts to be used in the service of the
kingdom.
There are many opportunities in life to use our talents in a
wise and generous way.
We do this every time we act out of love
for God and others.
A HUGE THANK YOU
to everyone who helped make our Parish Bazaar a
success.
Profits from the Bazaar will be published in the next couple
of weeks.
