SCIAF & Papal & Episcopal & St. Mirin’s Fund - 14 March 2021
The proceeds of this collection are divided 75% to SCIAF and 25% to our new St Mirin’s Fund.  SCIAF is the official aid and international development charity of the Catholic Church in Scotland. It works in sixteen countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America to help the poorest in the world, regardless of religion, to work their way out of poverty.  The St. Mirin’s Fund awards small grants for good causes that promote the Kingdom of God among us, with special consideration to: children and young people, the elderly, those with disabilities and special needs, or suffering from poverty, mental illness, homelessness or refugees.  In 2018 this collection raised £28,013, which represents 110% of our expenditure of £25,389 resulting in a small fund surplus of £2,624. The Papal & Episcopal Fund also contributed £15,000 from reserves to the SPRED Fund.

Solemnity of St Joseph Thursday 19th March
Bishop John has asked parishes to pray for all those who have died due to the Covid pandemic, on the Solemnity of St Joseph. This was the day when churches closed for the first-time last year. Parishioners are invited to send names of those who have died due to Covid to their parishes. These names will be remembered on St Joseph’s Feast Day.

Novena to St Joseph
We invite you to join in a Novena to St Joseph beginning on Wednesday 10th March until 18th March, in time to celebrate the Solemnity of St Joseph on the 19th at 7pm. You can view the Novena and prayers to St Joseph on the parish website/facebook.
 
Moodie's Funeral Directors
A big thank you to Moodie's Funeral Directors who gave a donation to St John's/St Thomas towards the cost of supplying hand sanitiser and also for the personal donation they give to the parish after each funeral.

New Gift Aid Envelopes (St John’s)
Because of the Lockdown many Gift Aid envelopes and Non-Gift Aid envelopes were not collected. Given the present circumstances, extra care and attention must be given to the Parish budget. It costs the parish £800 each year to buy envelopes for collections. To aid our budgeting this year the following changes will have to be made.
Envelopes will be ordered for the following groups only:
  • Present registered gift aiders. (those who pay tax) containing envelopes for your weekly and second collections/monthly building fund.
  • Present registered gift aiders paying first collection via Standing Order (those who pay tax) containing envelopes, for second collections/monthly building fund only.
Thank you to all those who regularly donate to the parishes. Your donations are essential and greatly received especially during these challenging times. Because of your continued generosity you are guaranteeing a sustainable future for your parishes.
