Clergy Thoughts: As we reach the 23rd Sunday of Ordinary time, we are on Monday, to Celebrate the Birthday of Mary, Jesus' Mother. Jesus has always been and will always be our refuge.   In today's Gospel, He reminds US of the need to continue the love for our families and to accept His refuge as we build our lives “:   Rev. Dcn. David Croucher.
