Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Cumbernauld
The Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time reminds us that following Jesus sometimes requires courage, sacrifice, and trust.
The first reading from the Book of Jeremiah tells us about the prophet Jeremiah, who faces difficulties and rejection because he faithfully speaks God's message.
The second reading from St Paul's Letter to the Romans encourages us to offer our lives to God and not simply follow the ways of the world.
The Gospel from Matthew follows directly after Peter's declaration of faith from the previous Sunday. Jesus tells His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer, die, and then rise again.
Today's readings invite us to follow Jesus with courage and faith.

We, the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Cumbernauld, following the example of our Patron and Protector, believe that each member is called to ownership, discipleship, and evangelisation to our parish and local community.
The parish is a community of God’s people centered on the word of God and the Eucharist:
where all seek to be loving and caring, welcoming, forgiving, serving and healing;
where the poor can go for help, the lonely for company and the sorrowing for comfort;
where, with obedience to our own faith and respect for other faiths, we seek unity with all;
where, in a spirit of mission, we aim to promote God’s glory throughout the world;
where there is a passion for justice and peace;
where, as stewards of creation, we care and protect the environment locally and globally; and,
where Christ is the way and the truth and the life.
We do all of this as members of the Catholic community within the
Archdiocese of Glasgow and the universal Church.
