This weekend 2nd Collection “Let the Children Live”. Fr Peter Walters will speak about his work with street children and children from the shanty towns of Medillin, Columbia at all Masses this weekend. He will make an appeal on behalf of his Small Charity that feeds and schools and provides accommodation for these vulnerable children.
Daily Mass changes this week St John's Mass only on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday St Thomas' on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Divine Mercy Monthly Devotions Mass is at 7pm and followed by Adoration on Wednesday 23rd February at St Mary’s Church, 163 George Street, Paisley PA1 2UN. Children’s Rosary Group There will be a children’s rosary in the church on the first Friday of each month, commencing on Friday 4th March 2022 at 6:30pm. This is an opportunity for children of all ages to gather together to pray the rosary. This initiative has been running in other parishes in Scotland. All families are invited to attend and pre-school children are very welcome. The idea is that children as young as 4 or 5 and up to around 14 can learn to lead the rosary and make the rosary part of their daily lives. The rosary only lasts around 15 minutes and it is a lovely way to start the Lenten season as the Sunday obligation resumes. Please contact Lesley Ward if you need any further information (lesley@giffnockwards.co.uk 07910266821). 4O Days for Life This Lent the 40 Days for Life prayer group in Scotland will hold its annual vigil outside the maternity unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow. From Ash Wednesday 2nd March until Palm Sunday 10th April, from 8am until 8pm the site will be manned daily. As you can imagine this is a big undertaking, but we have managed to do it for the past five years. Today I ask you to join the Pro-Life cause by signing up for a slot during the 40 days, come hail, rain or shine. Usually, people give an hour of their time when we say the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries. Please contact Matt Lynch on 07971234313. World Day of Prayer This will take place in Neilston Parish Church on Friday 4th March at 1:30pm. Tea/Coffee afterwards. All welcome!
