27 September 2026 – 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

Dear Parishioners,
Our Second Reading from the Letter of St Paul to the Philippians (not to be
confused with a letter to the Philippines!) offers us one of the most sublime
Christological statements in the New Testament. “Christology,” for those who
are unfamiliar with the term, refers to the study of the person, life, and mission
of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus is absolutely central to our Catholic Faith,
Christology necessarily influences all aspects of our faith, theology, and life.
Our understanding of God; the Bible; the Church; Mary and the saints; morality;
spirituality; creation and the world; our beginning and our end; discipleship;
and, mission are all inherently linked to Jesus Christ.
