CURRENCY NOTES
It has been noticed that some parishioners donate
paper currency which they fold elaborately. While we
appreciate the artistic intentions, it does make it
harder for the volunteers who count the weekend
collection. In some cases, the folded currency tends
to tear when its opened up. In view of this, please
refrain from donating folded currency. Thank you.

3rd Sunday in Ordinary
DISCIPLES AND APOSTLES
Time
“Come after me,” said Jesus, “and I will make you fishers of people.”
January 25, 2015 – Year B Those are two functions, two sides of the same coin. Following the
Sunday Missal Page No: 711 path of a master is the work of a disciple, student or apprentice.
Going fishing for people, however, is the work of a person sent in the
name of another. The Twelve were fishers of people for Christ Jesus.
Are not we also both disciples and apostles for Christ Jesus? Yes. In
his name we proclaim the Gospel of God. The time is now; God’s
reign is breaking in! We proclaim that Good News in word and deed
to all because we love them.
Sunday Missal Readings for next weekend - 1st February
Dt 18:15-20
1 Cor 7:32-35,
Mk 1:21-28
