Dear Friends,
Today’s Gospel deals with fraternal correction within the Christian community. Because the Church was born of divine love, it had to be a fellowship of love where each was responsible for the faith and holiness of his/her brothers and sisters.
The Journey in Faith will begin on Sunday, 15th October at 5pm in the church hall in North Walsham. This time, as well as enquirers, everyone is welcome to attend. Spread the word….
We also have a group of young people who will begin their preparation for Confirmation. Please let me know if you wish to join them.
I shall be on holiday from this Sunday for two weeks. We welcome Father Gavin Small who arrives next Saturday and will celebrate the Sunday and weekday Masses in my absence. Father Gavin was here last year and it will be good to see him again.
