The Library Corner 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
The St Thomas More Parish Library
staff would like to wish all our parishioners a Happy 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Parish Library will be open today.
The book that I would like to recommend today is a succinct overview of seven different New Testament
perspectives on the Catholic Church which provide a look at the early apostolic church immediately after the death
of the Apostles.

Raymond explores the early Christian response after the loss of the witnesses to Jesus, how the ecclesial communities came into existence and how these communities evolved into the Catholic Church.
