ANNIVERSARIES OF ORDINATION
Congratulations to CANON DESMOND BERRY who celebrated the Golden Anniversary of his Ordination on Friday evening.
As part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations, the parish at Wemyss Bay is hosting a tearoom TODAY (Sunday) from 11.00am until 1.00pm. Everyone is invited to get together over tea and scones, to swop stories and mark this wonderful milestone for Father Berry.
CANON TOM BOYLE at St. Mary’s is celebrating his 40th. Anniversary of Ordination with a Mass in St. Mary’s on Monday evening at 7.00pm. All are welcome to join in this Mass.
Today’s Liturgy: Matthew 16.13-19 ‘You are Peter, and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.’
The readings today recall the highs and lows of the lives of the two great Apostles, Peter & Paul. Paul recalls how he had mercilessly persecuted the Church; his letters bear witness to his remarkable change to fearless preacher of the Risen Christ. Peter, despite denying three times he even knew Jesus, is given the title of “Rock” and the commission to be shepherd to Jesus’ flock.
