"I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live forever."
whoever eats this bread will live forever."
Huge THANK YOU to the P6 Pupils who came along to last Sunday’s P1 Welcome event. This was a great success with lots of families getting together before the new term. It was a huge help to have St Nics’ wonderful 'buddies' entertaining and playing with the new P1s. They’ll love to see familiar faces when the crew of 32 start 'big school' in August. PFFA candidates can include last Sunday as a Parish Faith Action for their Parish Commendation.
Well done to everyone involved.

The last coffee morning before the summer will be to raise funds for research into dementia. Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. Almost one million people in the UK are living with Dementia right now (up nearly 25% in the last decade). There are currently no treatments available in the UK to stop the disease.
Through donations, this charity aims to develop ways to prevent, treat and ultimately cure all forms of dementia. There aren’t many of us whose lives haven’t been touched by someone who is living with dementia. We know what a cruel disease it is.
Please come along on the 18th to our coffee morning, treat your dad/grandad to some delicious home-baking, as it’s also Father’s Day and remember our dear parishioners who have lost their lives to this disease and help raise funds so that in the future our loved ones may have new treatments which they can access.
Thank you.

Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week - A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just. Pope Francis, Angelus, 17th March 2013
Laudato Si’ - On Care for our Common Home - This (treating the poor at the bottom of the pile) is due partly to the fact that many professionals, opinion makers, communications media and centres of power, being located in affluent urban areas, are far removed from the poor, with little direct contact with their problems. (#49)
Weekend of Action – Over the last weekend in June, 23rd – 25th, Justice & Peace Scotland have planned a ‘Weekend of Action’ and we hope you’ll join us. #WeekendOfAction #SaveOurCommonHome #NuclearBan #RefugeesWelcome
