SUNDAY MASS TIMES
Sunday Mass times
in Saint Peter's are 5.30 pm Vigil and 10.30 am. Sunday
Mass times in other local parishes can be
seen here.
SACRAMENT OF FORGIVENESS
The Sacrament of Forgiveness is available at any suitable time as well as
from 4.30 pm before the Vigil Mass on Saturday evenings.
HOSPITAL
CHAPLAINCY
If a member of your family or a friend is sick, please let us know and give
us the details. Deacon Bill Corbett (01292 521208, 07904 248948, Rev.BillCorbett@btinternet.com)
is the chaplain to Crosshouse Hospital and is assisted by the priest on call
each week. Canon Pat Keegans is the chaplain to Ayr Hospital and the Ayrshire
Hospice.
FINANCES
Bankers Orders for the Parish and Parish Centre amount to £3500 per
month. We are grateful for your generous support in collections. If you can
manage a little more from time to time, it would be a great help. A Standing
Order would make the handling of money so much easier. Have you signed a Gift
Aid form? If you are a taxpayer the Church would get 25p added to every £1
you donate.
COLLECTIONS
Last weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £714.74 and the Maintenance
Fund collection to £292.35.
GIFT AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
on the Gift Aid claim. Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed
is that you pay tax. You simply declare that you give funds to the Church.
We do the rest. Why not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every
£1 you give the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation.
There is no need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.
PARISH RECORDS
Our parish records are covered by the Data Protection Act and are for parish
use only. We cannot give out phone numbers or addresses. Please help us to
keep our records up to date using the cards provided.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Katrina Pollock at 5.30 pm and
Margaret Harvey at 10.30 am.
ALTAR SERVERS
Next weekend's altar servers are Group 1 at 5.30
pm and Group 2 at 10.30 am.
SUNDAY
TEAS
We
are very short of Sunday Tea teams. Is there any chance of a group of friends
forming a team? It would be a shame to lose the Sunday Teas altogether. Would
you consider making a team or joining a team that organises the teas and coffees
after Sunday 10.30 am Mass? If so, please leave your details at the Parish
Office or telephone 01294 464063.
Next Sunday's teas will be served by Loretta McLardy's team.
MUSIC AT MASS
Music is an essential part of Mass. Are there any budding musicians willing
to offer their talent and service?
CHILDREN’S
LITURGY
We would more volunteers to help with the Children's Liturgy during Mass at
10.30 am on Sunday mornings. Next week's helpers are Maria Paterson
and George Kidd for the pre-fives, Emma Paterson and Teresa Louden for Primaries
1, 2 and 3 and Andrena Hughes and Jacqueline Waugh for Primary 4.
VOLUNTEERS
If you are able to help with Sunday Teas, Music or the Children's
Liturgy, please speak to Canon
Matt or contact the Parish Office on 464063. Thank you.
MONTH
OF THE HOLY SOULS
During November, Mass will be offered for all our dead. There are November
Lists available. Fill in the names of all family members and put it in an
envelope. There is a basket by the altar. A Mass offering is traditional,
but not necessary.
PILGRIMAGE TO FATIMA
The Diocese of Paisley is looking at the possibility of organising a Pilgrimage
to Fatima in the one hundredth anniversary year of the Apparitions of our
Blessed Lady. The proposed dates are 8 to 15 June 2017. You can express interest
by calling Ann Marie Cairns on 01698 262941 or emailling amcalba@yahoo.co.uk.
CHERNOBYL CHILDREN'S LIFELINE
Can you help with the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline? Could you open your home
to children from Ukraine for two to four weeks in the summer and help us to
continue to make a difference in their young lives? We are hoping to invite
another group of twelve children aged from 9 to eleven to Ayrshire next summer
but can only do it if we have at least another three volunteer families to
help host them. The children will be in Ayrshire from about middle of June
to middle of July and as they go on trips most days they will only be with
you in the evenings and weekends. The children are accompanied by an English-speaking
leader who is reachable twenty-four hours a day during their stay. The committee
is also there to support you and we can work around your work and family life
so you will never be on your own or left struggling. Please have a look at
our website.
