Fifteenth Sunday of the year, Year A - 16 July 2017
The Church with "goes forth" is a community of missionary disciples who take the first step, who are involved and supportive, who bear fruit and rejoice.  An evangelizing community knows that the Lord has taken the initiative, he has loved us first, and therefore we can move forward, boldly take the initiative, go out to others, seek those who have fallen away, stand at the crossroads and welcome the outcast.

Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium  Para 24

Striving for Social JusticeThe National Commission for Justice and Peace advises the 
Scottish Bishops' Conference of the Catholic Church in matters relating to social justice, international peace and human rights, and promotes action in these areas.

“I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets” – Pope Francis
