Homilies

Weekly homilies preached at St Alphonse (Saturday Vigil, Sunday 11:15 and Sunday evening Quiet Mass) may be found below. Obviously the Saturday Vigil homily is sometimes similar to those of the following day; sometimes it is quite different, even though the readings are the same. Occasionally the sound quality is poor — for which, apologies!

20 August 2017 Note on homilies this w/e. I made the silly error of speaking of the Canaanite woman as though she was a Samaritan. As a Canaanite, she would have been a worshipper of pagan gods. Apologies. My basic point remains, thankfully! E.H.
