3 as they will be taking part in the Sacramental Preparation next year or
if your child will be joining our three to five year olds Liturgy Group in
August. If you are interested, please contact the Parish Office on 464063.

PAPAL MESSAGE FOR THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II
Vatican City, 6 June 2012
Made public today was a message sent by the Holy Father to Queen Elizabeth
II of the United Kingdom who is currently celebrating her Diamond Jubilee
- sixty years since she became monarch. The English language text bears the
date of 23 May.
I write to offer my warmest congratulations to Your Majesty on the happy
occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of your reign. During the past sixty years
you have offered to your subjects and to the whole world an inspiring example
of dedication to duty and a commitment to maintaining the principles of freedom,
justice and democracy, in keeping with a noble vision of the role of a Christian
monarch. "I retain warm memories of the gracious welcome accorded to
me by Your Majesty at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh at the beginning of my apostolic
visit to the United Kingdom in September 2010, and I renew my thanks for the
hospitality that I received throughout those four days. Your personal commitment
to cooperation and mutual respect between the followers of different religious
traditions has contributed in no small measure to improving ecumenical and
inter-religious relations throughout your realms. "Commending Your Majesty
and all the royal family to the protection of Almighty God, I renew my heartfelt
good wishes on this joyful occasion and I assure you of my prayers for your
continuing health and prosperity.
THE TWO NEW CANONS OF THE DIOCESE
Father
Martin Poland and Monsignor Peter Magee,

Sixteen to twenty-one year olds are invited to join a group from Galloway
Diocese which will take part in the youth events at the New Dawn Scotland
Family Conference-Retreat in Saint Andrews, Fife from Monday 2 July to Saturday

their Catholic faith with others their age through worship, talks, workshops,
ministry, healing, celebration of the Sacraments and Mass and prayer and a
pilgrimage walk to the historic ruins of Saint Andrew's Cathedral. The cost
is £90 including transport from Ayrshire, accommodation and meals. For
more information see www.GallowayYouth.org.uk
or contact Father Stephen McGrattan
at FrStephen@GallowayYouth.org.uk
or on 01290 421031.
LAPEL CROSSES
Cardinal O’Brien called on all Catholics to 'wear a cross with pride' these
days. We have a few lapel crosses available at the stall.
50/50
CLUB
We have a few members still to renew their membership for 2012. If you no
longer wish to subscribe to the 50/50 Club, please let the Promoter know.
CHRISTIAN
AID BARBECUE
It
is hoped to repeat last year’s very successful barbecue on the afternoon of
Sunday 12 August. All the churches in Ardrossan will take part.
CHURCH REPAIRS
We
have a lot of maintenance to take care of. Lead has been stolen again and
the Church needs painting. Brown envelope donations stand at £2974.50.
ADVERTISER SUPPORT
Our advertisers would welcome your support. We are grateful for their continuing
sponsorship. We are grateful for the support of Mr and Mrs Sohal, Nisa Stores,
Glasgow Street for the weekly donation of tea, coffee and milk for the Sunday
teas.
USED PRINTER CARTRIDGES AND OLD MOBILE PHONES
There is a large green box in the foyer of the Parish Centre and a small box
at the stall where you can place all old printer cartridges and mobile phones
for us to recycle. Through recycling these we can raise some much needed funds.
Thanks.
EVENING
SAIL TO ARRAN
We
have had a couple of very successful evening sails to Arran and back. Just
buy a ticket and meet on the boat which sails at about 6.00 pm and returns
before 9.00 pm by staying on board. Alternatively, you could go during the
day and come back with us. Bring a picnic and perhaps something to wash it
down or buy food on the boat. If it is a wild night, just stay at home. It
makes no money but is a good evening out. The date will be arranged soon.
PAPAL
BLESSINGS
Papal Blessings for a wedding,
wedding anniversary or a special birthday can be ordered at the stall. The
price of the parchment and postage has gone up drastically. We now have to
ask £40 for the Blessing. Please leave plenty of time.
NEW
MISSAL
New Missals containing the new Rite are now available at the stall £7.99
or £9.99.
LARGE PRINT MASS BOOKS
Mass Books in Polish are available from the stall. Sunday Readings in most
European languages can be printed from the parish website.
NOVENA CANDLES
There is a nice selection of Novena Candles available at the stall.
THANKS
Thank you to Saint Anne's Guild
for the donation of £200. It was most gratefully received.
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.
PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT

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
