Today’s Special Collection (8th May): Vocations and Ecclesiastical Students
This collection pays for our Paisley seminarians studying in Rome. Currently we have three students whose seminary fees are £20,000 per year. As well donating at Mass you can also donate to this collection by visiting our Diocesan website www.rcdop.org.uk and clicking on ‘Online Parish Offertory’. Think Vocation Today is World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Pray for those discerning a call to priesthood or religious life. Is that you? Speak to our Vocations Director, Fr Morrison tel: 01418895056 or email [email protected] Fatima Howwood Vigils On Thursday 12th May we will celebrate our first Vigil of our new season, which runs from May-October.
