EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY OF YEAR C
4th August 2019
Dear Parishioner,
I wish and pray that you are keeping fine. In this week as we reflect on prayer, I ask you to keep me in your prayers
as I will do the same for you. I will go to Lourdes and Fatima on a coach pilgrimage for 10 days. Let us mutually be
united in prayers.
SEND, O LORD: HOLY APOSTLES INTO YOUR CHURCH
Fr Sabu Pariyadan RCJ
