Fr John Parish Meetings to explain the Assisted Suicide Bill and how to stop it The Bill is before Parliament and could pass the critical Stage One by the end of the year which will effectively ensure State sanctioned euthanasia in Scotland. If our MSPs hear nothing from us as citizens, they will feel free to vote it in. Deanery meetings around our diocese will help parishioners build local momentum to make MSPs sit up, take notice and vote against it. Please come to our meetings and invite anyone concerned about this watershed moment. Friday Night’s Quiz Fundraiser The first event was a very enjoyable evening and raised £160 for the church restoration project. Thank you Anna Maria for organizing the evening. Adults enjoyed the challenging questions and the children had great fun too. Children’s Rosary Fri 20th Sept 6pm 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.

Our group runs every Tuesday mornings in the Church hall after 10am Mass-12.00pm. Meet ups are very relaxed, where mums or grandmothers can bring their children along to play while the mothers and grandmothers gather round the table with a cuppa, have a catch up and chat.
