Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Sea Sunday)
Dear Friends,
Welcome to all Parishioners and any visitors this weekend to mass. This weekend we celebrate the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary time and also known as Sea Sunday.
I would please ask you all to pray for Fr Stephen Wang who the Pope has chosen to be our next Bishop.
Prayer For Fr Stephen Wang
“O God, eternal and loving Shepherd,
we bless and thank you for the appointment of your servant, Stephen,
to our Diocese of Arundel and Brighton,
may your Holy Spirit grace him with a spirit of counsel and fortitude,
and a spirit of knowledge and piety,
so that he may gently and courageously sanctify, teach and govern
the Church of Arundel and Brighton as we work together to build up the Kingdom of Heavan.
May he be a shepherd after your own heart,
who, with compassion and wise discernment, will care for
and lead your people with the joy of the Gospel.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.”
