St. Margaret's Hospice has sent a letter of thanks for the donation of £250 from the 29 Club. The letter is on the noticeboard in the porch.
 
Concert in St Andrew’s Cathedral: Concert by the Cathedral of Christ the King Choir, Atlanta, U.S.A, in St. Andrew’s Cathedral on Tuesday 8th July at 7.30pm, under the direction of Dr Michael Accurso.  Please come along and enjoy an evening of sacred music by national and international composers. A free concert (no booking required).
 
World Day for Grandparents & the Elderly - Sunday 27th July 2025 To celebrate this day, the National Marriage, Family and Life Commission invites everyone to St. Francis Xavier’s, Carfin for Mass at 3pm with Bishop John Keenan. Come along and enjoy this inter-generational event.
 
As stated last weekend, there is another email scam going around. Again, they are using Fr. Michael's name. 
 
Jubilee Service. Each Deanery in the diocese has been asked to take part in a Jubilee Service at the Cathedral this year. Our date is 15th September at 7p.m. Along with St. Joseph's, Milngavie, we have been asked to arrange transport if possible. Therefore, if you are interested in attending, there is a sheet in the porch for you to sign. If there are sufficient numbers we would try to hire a bus.
 
RCIA PROGRAMME: Interested in becoming a Catholic? Please get in touch. The programme of learning and instruction will begin after summer and prepares adults for the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Please speak to Fr Michael, if you would like to know more.
 
FINAL YEAR AT SCHOOL? Like to do the Caritas Award? The Award celebrates the faith witness which Caritas candidates give within their home, school and parish. For more information, speak to Fr Michael and visit https://sces.org.uk/caritas-award/

New Altar Servers. If you would like to be a Server, please ask your Parents/Guardians to speak to Fr Michael. The more the merrier - I think!
 
Before receiving Holy Communion, we are asked to make some act of reverence such as a bow.
 
Regarding young children who haven’t made their First Communion being given a blessing at Communion time. Parents who wish their child to receive a blessing must come forward, please, in the Communion line to the priest.  Many thanks.
 
FUNDRAISING. The parish is looking to set up a new fundraising body along the same principles as the 29 Club. We are in the process of working this out, so please be patient. I hope you will continue to support this new fundraising activity as you have in the past.
 
Our SPRED parish group, which consists of parishioners from St Andrew's and St Joseph's is actively looking for friends who have special needs aged 21 plus and volunteers who would be interested in training in order to keep this vital parish based ministry going forward. Further information from Lorna Donnelly, St Andrew's SPRED group. 
 
Remember Vocations - Change of Date - Eucharistic Adoration for Vocations to the Priesthood, Now Saturday 12th July 10 -11a.m, with Exposition, Rosary and Benediction. Have you noticed there seems to be fewer priests to serve parishes these days? Is it because fewer people are praying for Vocations to the priesthood? Why don’t you come for a while and “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send more labourers into the harvest”?

Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week – 6th July 2025 As a general principle it may be laid down that a worker ought to have leisure and rest proportionate to the wear and tear of their strength, for waste of strength must be repaired by cessation from hard work. Rerum Novarum, para. 42
 
Laudato Si’ - On Care for our Common Home – Laudato Si’ - On Care for our Common Home 
There is also the fact that people no longer seem to believe in a happy future; they no longer have blind trust in a better tomorrow based on the present state of the world and our technical abilities. There is a growing awareness that scientific and technological progress cannot be equated with the progress of humanity and history, a growing sense that the way to a better future lies elsewhere.  (#113)
 
The Church is open until 5p.m. Monday to Saturday. Call in and enjoy the peace and quiet and take time to sit in the stillness in the silence of God.
​
Tea is served in the hut after daily Mass/Services Monday to Thursday. All most welcome.
 
"We Are Mission" handout is in the porch for anyone interested to take away and is free of charge.

Support for Drumchapel Foodbank. Drumchapel Foodbank is particularly in need of extra donations during the summer holidays when school meals are not provided, and many families are under additional pressure to provide for their children. Non-perishable food items are always gratefully received. Please place in the box in the Church porch during usual opening times. Our rota is always looking for more foodbank volunteer drivers. If you can help, please contact [email protected]. Thank you for continuing to give the foodbank your support.
 
Our volunteers collect donations every evening from M&S Milngavie and deliver to St Gregory’s, Wyndford Foodbank and Aspire West End which helps people get back on their feet. If you are interested in volunteering or even providing occasional holiday cover, please get in touch with Veronica McLaughlin by email at: [email protected]
 
Parish Bulletin:  Items for inclusion should be sent to [email protected] by 5p.m. on the Tuesday before publication and should not exceed 80 words. The Parish Bulletin is available weekly on our website/by email for all those on our Parish database and on the noticeboard in the Church porch.
Please remember in your prayers those in need, those who are sick and housebound and those in hospital.
Recently Dead: Helen Daw, Gertrude Eagers, Theresa Lysaght and Lynne Ragoubi.
Anniversaries: Henry Murray, James Murray and Russell Rodger.
