Thirtieth Sunday
In Ordinary Time

There will be a new discussion group starting this month of October,
a Faith-Sharing Discussion Group. (Facilitated by Bob Guiang)
Would you like to “take a break” from the stress that arises in
day-to-day life?
Then please consider coming to join us for coffee & conversation
(in the parish hall).
We'll be talking about any issues that YOU would like to discuss.
By sharing our Faith & Wisdom with each other, and by telling our stories,
maybe we can learn new ways of coping, arriving at practical solutions to
the problems we encounter in our normal, everyday life.
Perhaps one of our goals might be to hear Jesus saying to us:
“Your Faith has made you well!”
To start, we'll be meeting on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month, from 9am
to 10am (after morning Mass), downstairs in the Parish Hall. If there might
be additional interest, it is possible that we could also start having meetings
on a weekday in the evening.
