the 10.00 am Sunday Mass.
CHILDREN'S LITURGY
The Children's
Liturgy is offered during the 10.00 am Mass. The group who offer this service
is always grateful to have new names on the rota. You must have disclosure before
you can take part and that is easily arranged. Please phone Michelle in the Parish
Office on 464063 on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday morning.
VISITORS
Are
you visiting us for Mass on Sunday? During the 10.00 am Mass there is a Children’s
Liturgy provided for preschool children, children in Primaries 1 to 3 and a Sacramental
Programme for children in Primary 4. After the 10.00 am Mass, tea, coffee cakes
and buns are available in the Parish Centre. At all of our weekend Masses, we
have a second collection for our Parish Centre debt.
SUNDAY TEAS
The
Sunday Teas groups have shrunk a little bit lately and two - or even one - new
groups would be great. Is anyone willing to gather a few friends and become a
Sunday Tea Group? The more groups the less often your turn comes round. Please
contact Canon Matt or the
Parish Office on 464063.

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.
