28th Sunday of Ordinary Time - Yr A
​
Let us reflect today on God’s invitation to each and everyone of us to share in His joy, like guests invited to a great feast. Isaiah speaks of a promise of comfort and hope. St. Paul explains that God gives strength in every situation. In the Gospel, Jesus tells a story about a wedding banquet that welcomes all who are ready.
​​
May the God of peace make you perfect and holy; and may your spirit, life and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:23

Our parish Needs Your Support
Prayer Intentions: We continuously pray for those Parishioners who are sick and housebound. Please email the Parish Office with names of those in need of our prayers.Becontree@brcdt.org
Weekly Mass Intentions: Weekly mass intentions have the same sacred effect as the ones for Sunday Masses. Please collect an envelope at the back of the Church and return it to the sacristy.
We welcome Bishop Timothy Menezes whose installation as the 8th Bishop of Brentwood will take place on Thursday December 3rd 2026. Please pray for him. We wish his predecessor, Bishop Alan Williams SM, a blessed and fruitful retirement.
“The Eucharist is such a great gift. That’s why going to Mass is so important. Going to Mass not just to pray, but to receive Communion, the Bread and Body of Christ. It saves us, forgives us and it makes us one with the Father. How beautiful!”
