Parish Clustering Plan - Archbishop Tartaglia has stated that he now wishes to carry forward the process, begun in 2013, of creating a parish structure for the diocese and proposes a system of clustering and collaboration between parishes. There are 25 proposed clusters for the whole of the archdiocese. The proposal for our parish is that we be clustered with St Joseph's, Milngavie. Our Parish Pastoral Council will meet on 5th November to either verify that this is reasonable or propose an alternative suggestion. Parishioners comments welcome re this proposal – please email PPC secretary, Tricia Carroll pc5039@hotmail.com .If the proposal is accepted as reasonable, the plan is then to have a joint meeting of the two parishes PPC Executives in early 2016 to make arrangements for a joint spiritual event in Lent 2016. It is proposed too that arrangements be made at a later stage for a joint social event in June 2016. Visit the parish website for a copy of the 2015 - 2018 Parish Clustering Plan.
