​"I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

With all good wishes for the Easter Season.  "The spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you". Romans 8:11

The Scottish Government has set up a website asking for ideas on how to reopen society.
The link below is to get an idea about opening up places of worship. It would be good if this proposal could make it to the top of the govt's list.
Please rate this idea, have your say and spread the word!

The World Day of Prayer for Vocations was on Sunday, May 3rd 
O God, we humbly ask you to bless our Archdiocese of Glasgow with many priests, brothers and sisters who will love You with their whole strength and gladly spend their entire lives to serve your Church and to make You known and loved.
Bless our families, bless our young people. Choose from our homes those needed for your work.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us, pray for our priests, religious and deacons. Obtain for us many more.  Pray, too, for our seminarians, especially during this period of lockdown, that they may be given courage and perseverance in their discerning. Amen.

Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week - Sunday 10 May
I would therefore like us all to make the serious commitment to respect and care for creation, to pay attention to every person, to combat the culture of waste and of throwing out so as to foster a culture of solidarity and encounter.
Pope Francis, General Audience 5 June 2013, World Day of the Environment

SCIAF: This Lent, your £1=£2 (and even more if you Gift Aid it).  
From 21st February to 20th May all public donations made to the WEE BOX BIG CHANGE appeal will be doubled by the UK government.   
Your donations will help SCIAF’s life changing work around the world, while match funding from the UK government will transform the lives of thousands of extremely vulnerable women affected by sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  
Please show your usual generosity. In these circumstances, without there obviously being a collection, all donations are to be sent direct to SCIAF.

Visiting of Sick and Housebound:- The clergy and extraordinary ministers of holy communion unfortunately are not permitted to visit the sick and housebound as these are high risk people and we need to avoid bringing the virus to them. Please don't hesitate to phone 942 4635 for telephone ministry.
