"O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise."

Like to get to know your faith better? Like to be part of a faith sharing group? We would like to set up faith-sharing groups within the parish. We have various DVD resources which groups may wish to use ie Bishop Barron’s Catholicism series, plus a number of presentations by authors and teachers, Scott and Kimberley Hahn. We would envisage these groups (6 – 8 people) meeting in homes within the parish – similar to the way Renew groups met in the past. If you are interested, please get in touch with Mike Ryan. Email:   mryan1481@gmail.com
 
Youth Mass for all secondary school pupils and families – 1st Oct - 6pm Vigil. An invitation to all the young people of our parish to come along to this Mass.

Vocations Awareness Week – 12th-18th Sept. is our annual celebration of our Church dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education.  As part of St Andrew’s Primary marking this important week for Vocations Awareness, Fr Mackle will meet with the P7 pupils and their teachers this Tuesday to have a chat about vocations, which will include Q&A, and they will be able to ask any questions they might have. Pray for vocations, especially for our archdiocese. Prayer cards available in the porch.

Handstitching and Embroidery Workshops  - As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for the Parish, we are hoping to set up weekly workshops with interested handstitchers to create an embroidered wall hanging to commemorate this important event.

A huge THANK YOU!! to everyone who contributed in any way to a very successful Joint Parish SPRED Fundraiser at St Andrew’s Bearsden last Saturday night. Prizes were a plenty thanks to the very generous donations from individuals in both parishes and from outwith. The total monies raised on what was a very enjoyable evening came to £2460.06 ( rounded to £2500!) and this has gone to Sr Agnes Nelson and her team at SPRED Glasgow Centre. A special thanks to the clergy for their great encouragement and support and to the many unseen helpers in the background. Many thanks once again. Brian Donnelly.
