Today we celebrate the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time and also our Grade 8 graduates from St Ambrose and Jeanne Sauve schools.

Let us respond to God’s love with generous hearts.
The theme of God’s unending love for us, his people, runs through our readings today. Saint Paul points out that Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and Jesus’ heart was moved with pity when he saw the troubled crowd. Let us strive to imitate this great love by obeying Jesus’ instruction in the Gospel: Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.

Please join us for Mass at 12:00pm.

In the Eucharist, the Lord nurtures our souls and makes us one with him.

Today, on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, we profess what we believe and celebrate at every Mass: The simple, ordinary gifts of bread and wine are transformed, by the power of the Holy Spirit, into our Lord’s Real Presence. When we partake of the Eucharist, Jesus remains with us. Let us pray that we may be more aware of this presence so we can proclaim this truth to others.

We are also celebrating our Grade 8 graduates from St Aloysius and St Joseph's Catholic elementary schools.
