HOLY PLACES COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection for the Holy Places amounted to £288.38 - many thanks.


BANKER'S ORDERS

GIFT AID
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. Forms are available.

WILLS
Would you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?


READERS
Next weekend's readers are Katrina Pollock at 5.30 pm, Angela Body at 10.00 and Ronnie Cairns at 12 noon. If you would consider becoming a Reader at Mass please speak to Canon Matt or the Parish Office on 464063. Thank you. We are especially short at 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.

HILLHOUSE CARE
Hillhouse Care, formerly The Innocents, continues to care for children in need as before. Clothing, toys and baby equipment are gratefully received as are goods to sell the charity shop. Please phone 602179 for an uplift.

USED STAMPS FOR SAINT PATRICK’S MISSIONARY SOCIETY
There is a box by the Stall door for used Christmas stamps. A letter of thanks has been received from Father John McLaughlin. The proceeds from the stamps pay the salaries of catechists in various parts of Africa.

TRIP TO WALES
There will be a trip to Wales from 31 to 4 June. Places are still available - one twin and two double rooms. For further information, please telephone 601050.

FATHER MARTIN CHAMBERS
Father Martin Chambers is the chaplain to Crosshouse Hospital. He can be contacted on 01563 533587.

KITS FOR KIDS
Kits for Kids tokens in Daily Record can be handed in to the Parish Office and will be passed on to local football teams.

WATCH FOUND
A ladies watch has been found in the car park. Please contact the Parish Office for further information.

STALL
The stall has a lovely selection cards for all occasions, gifts and candles. Come along and have a look.


COLLECTION ENVELOPES
New collection envelopes are now available at the stall. Very many thanks to those who pay their collection by standing order. The new financial year brings its own problems but we are making ends meet. Your continuing support of the Parish is much appreciated.

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.
