"The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower.
All who come to him will have life forever."
All who come to him will have life forever."
St Andrew’s is open for private prayer on
Please consider the following, if you wish to come to the church to pray:
You should have received an information leaflet, which has been delivered to all 1300 households in the parish. I am very grateful to all existing and new volunteer messengers who have assisted with the leaflet delivery.
Update - we are hoping to have Masses live streamed on our YouTube Channel very soon. The TV system to allow our two halls to be used as overflow areas when Masses resume has now been fully installed. All vital safety & hygiene equipment has also been fitted and installed.
All donations to St Andrew’s Development Fund to help us with the £8,000 cost for this live stream system, and the approximate £3,000 cost for the Reopening and Start back cleaning and hygiene equipment will be gratefully received. Many thanks.

I do appreciate that many people will be facing financial pressure in these difficult times, so, please, only donate if you are in a position to do so.
Once again, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous offerings, which greatly support the parish, especially your offerings and donations over the past three months when there has been no Sunday collection, and all your standing order offerings, all of which have helped keep us afloat.
With deep appreciation and all good wishes. Take care. I look forward to seeing you sometime. Fr Mackle
Our ‘Guidance for the reopening of St Andrew’s’ leaflet has now been delivered to around 1300 households in the parish. In it you will see the preparations we are making for public Masses, when they resume. While there will still be no requirement to attend Mass in these circumstances, we would like to gauge what level of interest there is.
Please click on the form here, and let us know if you would like to attend Mass during these restricted times. Stay safe. Pray safe.
With our piety stall being closed we are offering individual cards for posting, or collection from the chapel house porch. We have a full range of cards for almost every occasion, all £1 or 40p each. P&P is £1 per order (up to 4 cards) or free if collected from the chapel house porch. Email Annamaria ([email protected]) to place an order. Payment is by bank transfer or cheque.
Virtual Mass:- the Cathedral streams Mass twice per day (1300 & 1715) on Weekdays and on Sundays with Vigil Mass Saturday at 1715, Sundays 1000, 1200, 1715). You can join in spiritually through the link on their website or by going directly to the link https://www.mcnmedia.tv/camera/st-andrews-cathedral
Sacrament of Reconciliation - if you would like Confession, that can be done in the Church grounds observing social distancing. Phone beforehand to arrange a time.
Drumchapel foodbank: If you can, as part of your daily exercise this week, drop off a food donation in the chapel house porch and our volunteers will get it to those in need. Also, If you know of anyone who lacks resources to buy food, please mention the foodbank at St Joseph's Milngavie (hall on left hand side), which opens from 2pm to 3.30pm on Fridays and 12.30-13.30pm on Sundays.
Our parish's soup run continues to deliver more than 700 GWR hot meals each week to families and individuals in need. This includes deliveries to Drumchapel and St Gregory's foodbanks, those in emergency accommodation across the city and a registered charity in Drumchapel supporting vulnerable families.
