NEW TO THE PARISH? WELCOME!

REFLECTION
From Christ’s judgement on the prayers of the Pharisee and tax collector, we learn the attitude of humility we must have before God. The Pharisee was a model of piety while the tax collector was a sinful man. The Pharisee thanked God for his virtue, but was more focused on himself than with prayer. The tax collector humbly acknowledged his sinfulness both in posture and prayer. Jesus’ comment on these two men astonished his hearers, the sinner was saved by God’s declaration while the virtuous person was condemned. This calls us to always remember that we are all “graced sinners” who cannot be saved by our own merits.

So far in 2022, we have made over 174 home visits providing food and clothing vouchers, beds and other assistance to some 64 families in our parish and the immediate surroundings consisting of 115 children and 141 adults.
