Dear Parishioners & Visitors,               The following words are all part of Jesus conversation with Nicodemus. “No one who believes in him (Jesus) will be condemned, but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already...” Harsh words indee...

11th March, 3rd Sunday in Lent

Dear Parishioners & Visitors,   Jesus enters the Temple in Jerusalem before Passover. There he finds a thriving bustling market in progress. This Temple was God’s house and rebuilt on the site of the Temple of Solomon. Little wonder then that ...
