Jesus asked for a denarius coin and pointed out that Caesar's face and inscription were stamped on it. By telling them to give back to Caesar what belongs to him, Jesus acknowledged civic and temporal duties (like paying taxes). By adding "and to God the things that are God's," he reminded them that human beings — created in God's image— owe their ultimate allegiance and life to God.
​​
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

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!”
