SUNDAY COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection amounted to £851.00. We are grateful for your
generous support of the Parish. Banker's Orders amount to an average of £4400
per month.
BANKER'S
ORDERS, GIFT AID AND WILLS
Have you thought of using a Bankers Order? It assists
us with the safe handling of cash. Have you signed a Gift Aid Form? If you pay
tax, then every £1 you give to the Parish is worth £1.28 to us. Would
you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?
PARISH
CENTRE COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection for the Parish Centre amounted
to £391.97 - many thanks.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Katrina Pollock, Annie Watt and Tom Reid.
THREE TOWNS CHURCHES
CRUISE
Due to some unforeseen work being carried out on the Waverley, the
Charity Evening Cruise originally arranged for Wednesday 18 June will take place
on Wednesday 30 July. Tickets already purchased will be valid for this new date.
If this new date is not suitable, a full refund will be given.
BULLETIN AND WORSHIP SHEETS
Notices for inclusion in the Bulletin need to
be here by Thursday of each week. After Mass, we would be grateful if you would
return the worship sheets to the boxes for use at a later Mass.
SCOTTISH
CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL AID FUND (SCIAF) BOXES
Please continue to use SCIAF
boxes throughout the year or make a box of your own. Please hand in any donations
for forwarding to SCIAF for our poorest brothers and sisters.
SAINT
PETER'S CHILDREN'S CENTRE
Afternoon places are available in Saint Peter's
Nursery starting in August 2008. For more information and an application form,
please contact Josephine Coulter.
CATHOLIC NEWSPAPERS
Each week, we
have copies of the Scottish Catholic Observer and The Universe available for sale.
They are informative on events happening in the Catholic world in Scotland and
the rest of the world. Perhaps you could reserve your copy at the stall. This
would ensure that we order enough and not too many.
THURSDAY
CLUB
TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
The Thursday
Club will
celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary in the Parish Centre on Friday 13 June
at 7.30 pm. Tickets cost £6 from Moira. There will be dancing, a buffet,
the Von Crap Singers and other entertainment.
IGNATIAN PRAYER GROUP
The
Ignatian Prayer Group meets in the Parish Centre on the first Wednesday of the
month at 7.30 pm, the second Tuesday at 7.30 pm and the last Tuesday at 2.00 pm.
DONATION
FROM SAINT
ANNE'S GUILD
We
acknowledge a donation of £150 for the Parish from the Saint
Anne's Guild.
Many thanks.
THANKS
FROM ANGELA BODY
Angela Body thanks Canon
Matt and the parishioners for their prayers and cards
after her fall. All will be remembered in prayer and at Mass.
FATHER
JOHN
Father
John has written to let us know he is fine. He is badly
in need of help to get a car. There are no sources of income or help from his
Order or his family so he is looking to us. I have had some interest from a few
parishioners. We cannot use Parish funds to help because charity rules don't permit
it and we cannot simply have a collection in Church because the Bishops have listed
the collections we are allowed to have so we have to find another way. I could
do with a few people gathering to discuss it on Monday evening at 6.30 pm in the
presbytery. Sorry for short notice but I have a very busy week. For starters,
there will be a Tanzanian Auction - like a Chinese Auction - in aid of funds for
Father
John in the Parish Centre on Wednesday 18 June at 7.30
pm. Entry costs £1 and includesg tea or coffee. Please bring an item to
auction. Your trash is someone else's treasure. It's all in a good cause.
URGENT
- HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY AND FERTILISATION BILL
The Human Embryology and Fertilisation
Bill and other 'life' legislation comes back to the Commons soon for final reading.
Please take time to write to Katy Clark MP and ask her to reconsider her vote.
Template letters are available. Thanks.

you would like the Bulletin sent to your computer, please give us an email address.
PROTECTION
OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT
The Catholic Church in
Scotland is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness and well-being of each
individual person within God's purpose for everyone. It seeks to safeguard the
welfare of people of all ages who are involved in whatever capacity with the Church
and its organisations. As a Church community, we accept that it is the responsibility
of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and voluntary members, to work together
to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect of children, young
people and vulnerable adults.
