We are grateful for your generous support of the parish and the diocese to
which we pay a monthly levy of £1250.
PARISH CENTRE COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection for the Parish Centre amounted to £290.34
- many thanks.
BANKER'S ORDERS
Have you thought of using a Bankers Order? It assists us with the safe handling
of cash. Banker's Orders for the Parish and Centre amount to an average of
£3800 per month. Forms are available.
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?

CHILDREN'S LITURGY
Next Sunday's Children's Liturgy helpers are Helen Pengilley and Maria Paterson
for the pre-5s, Emma Paterson and Yvette Thorpe for primaries 1 and 2 and
Kerry Scott and Michelle Morton for primary 3. The Liturgy for Primary 4 restarts
on 2 October. Our Liturgy is run by volunteers on a rota basis. We are in
need of some new volunteers to help us in running the groups. This would be
and ideal time to join as we are having an evening to apply for Disclosure
for volunteers as mentioned below. If you are interested, please contact the
Parish Office on 464063 and leave your name and number. Thanks.
SUNDAY TEAS
Next Sunday's teas will be served by Anne Thompson’s team.
CHURCH HEATING
A new boiler is soon to be installed. I will keep you posted. Estimates have
now been received. They varied from £8000 + vat to £23000 + vat.
Churches do not get vat back! The bottom line is that we need to find £10000
to restore the Church heating system. Any help you can give would be very,
very useful. In September I will re-issue the brown envelopes. A donation
of £20+ - and gift-aided if you can - would ease the pain. Some fundraising
by parish groups would be a great help. The first such event is a Concert
Evening arranged by the Parish Lourdes Group.
CONCERT
EVENING IN AID OF CHURCH HEATING
There will be a Concert Evening in the Parish Centre on Friday 23 September
from 7.30 to 11.00 pm. Tickets cost £5 and the entry fee includes a
light supper. There will be a bar. Tickets are available from the stall and
after Masses.
BISHOP CUNNINGHAM'S GOLDEN JUBILEE
A Mass to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood
of Bishop John Cunningham will be held in Saint Margaret’s Cathedral, Ayr
on Sunday 9 October at 3.00 pm. All are welcome.
HILLHOUSE CARE formerly The Innocents
Hillhouse Care urgently requires a cot and clothes for children between twelve
and sixteen years old. If you can help, please contact Frank Coulter or phone
01294 602179 or 07517 200533. Thanks to all who support us by donating goods
and knitting all year.
SCOTTISH CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL AID FUND (SCIAF)
SCIAF is holding catch-up sessions for anyone interested in finding out more
about its work. You can meet parish volunteers in your diocese and chat to
SCIAF staff about the issues that matter to your parish. For more information,
phone 0141 354 5524, email rlamb@sciaf.org.uk
or visit www.sciaf2.org.uk/parish.
CANON
MATT
Canon
Matt returns from holiday on Thursday. From Friday, the 10.00 am weekday
Mass is resumed.
LOURDES
WATER
There is some Lourdes Water available at the stall. A suggested donation for
the bottle only is £1.
SOCIAL EVENTS
During the winter months, we need to organise a few social events - for the
fun of it. The sail to Arran and the barbecue were well attended and enjoyed.
We have very heavy expenditure on a new heating boiler for the church and
the eventual painting of the church. Suggestions will always be welcome.
THE NEW MISSAL
A document titled Getting To Know The New Roman Missal can be accessed by
clicking here. You
might find it useful. We begin to use the new translation in September and
the new texts for the prayers and so on will be introduced in Advent. There
will be pew cards' available for the start. Please use them and leave them
in the pews. If you wish a pocket or handbag copy, they will be available
from the stall. At the beginning, the responses and the slightly new versions
of the Gloria and Creed are all that matter. Please God we will get used to
responding “and with your spirit” instead of “and also with you" very
soon. The Readings are not changing but they will conclude with “The Word
of the Lord” instead of “This is the Word of the Lord.”. The new Altar Missal
is ordered. It was a gift from a family in the parish. Very soon, Sunday and
even Daily Missals will be available to order. Magnificat will use the new
translations as they are introduced.
DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
A diocesan pilgrimage to the Holy Land, led by Bishop Cunningham, has been
organised for 15 to 22 October 2012. It is expected that this pilgrimage group
will be quite small in number - between 30 and 40 pilgrims - therefore early
booking is recommended. For more information, please see the poster and leaflets
provided. Further details he obtained by contacting Mancunia Travel Limited.
PAPAL
BLESSINGS
Papal Blessings for a wedding, wedding anniversary or a special birthday can
be ordered at the stall. The cost of the parchment and postage is about £30.
Please leave plenty of time.
PILGRIMAGE TO LOURDES
A pilgrimage to Lourdes by coach for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
will take place between 6 and 11 December. Details are on the notice board.
CHRISTMAS IN LOURDES
A pilgrimage to Lourdes by coach, with no overnight travel, will take place
between 23 and 28 December. Details are on the notice board.
VISITORS
Are you visiting us for Mass? Please know that you are very welcome. 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.
IGNATIAN
PRAYER GROUPS

pm, second Tuesday at 7.30 pm and last Tuesday at 2.00 pm.
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.
