Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week – 13th September 2026
Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. Matthew 25: 34 – 36
 
Laudato Si’ Quote ~
Ecology, then, also involves protecting the cultural treasures of humanity in the broadest sense. More specifically, it calls for greater attention to local cultures when studying environmental problems, favouring a dialogue between scientific-technical language and the language of the people. Culture is more than what we have inherited from the past; it is also, and above all, a living, dynamic and participatory present reality, which cannot be excluded as we rethink the relationship between human beings and the environment… (#143)
 
SEASON OF CREATION Week 2 - Water Poverty.  
  • As climate change intensifies, and groundwater extraction increases, several countries are now reaching a “point of water bankruptcy”, with these challenges; water becomes unaffordable for the poor; competition erupts for scarce water supplies; droughts devastate food supply.
  • While we have plenty of water, we should show compassion and solidarity with those who don't, by learning about and supporting SCIAF and WaterAid campaigns to provide life-giving water through wells and irrigation systems.
 
Bearsden and Milngavie talking newspaper (BEAM) provides a free weekly recording to the visually impaired.
  • Extracts from the Milngavie & Bearsden Herald and the Community News magazine.
  • Short stories from The Scottish Book Trust.
  • Speakers supplied at no cost & the Post Office provides a free weekly delivery & collection service.
  • Volunteer readers are also needed – can you spare an hour or so once a month to help? For more information contact Graham Silcock on 07770 524983
 
Early Alert - Fairtrade Fortnight. Beginning Monday 21 September. "Do it Fair - for People, for Planet and for Fair Pay”

  • New members welcome to this confidential support group.
