"​Father of all that is good,
keep us faithful in serving you."
Paris Terrorist Attack
Archbishop Tartaglia will offer the 5.15 pm Mass in the Cathedral on Wednesday, 18th November for all those affected by the recent tragic events in Paris. All are very welcome to attend.
The Archbishop has sent the following message to the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris.
 
Dear Cardinal Vingt-Trois, Your Eminence,
I wish to express my sadness at the horrific events which unfolded in Paris last night, where many people lost their lives in acts of murder and terror.
I want to assure you that the people of Paris and of all France are in our thoughts and prayers here in Glasgow and throughout Scotland.
We join with you in prayer, commending to God’s love and mercy all those who were killed, injured, and bereaved, and all whose lives have been affected by these tragic events.
Fraternally in Christ,
+Philip Tartaglia
Archbishop of Glasgow
President of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland

Nick Pryce
will take the next step toward becoming a Permanent Deacon during a special ceremony called Institution of Lector at 12noon Mass today (Sunday) in St Andrew's, Cathedral. All are invited. Keep Nick in your prayers.

Might God be calling you to serve as a permanent deacon?  Speak to Fr Mackle for information and details about the programme for the permanent diaconate. It would be helpful too I’m sure to have a chat with Deacon Tommy and Nick Pryce to find out what the programme and ministry involve.
 
The St Andrew’s Parish Christmas Fair will take place today, Sunday 15th November after 10am and 12 noon Masses. This will be similar to last year’s, with a selection of charities at the event. Could parishioners who would like to host a stall please contact either Anne MacIntosh (931 5861) or Annamaria Strachan (942 9799) to confirm. All profits from the Piety Stall go to Church funds.  Our usual coffee morning will take place at this event after both Masses and this month we are raising funds for Alzheimer's Scotland. So please come along and join us for a cake, a cuppa and a chat and help support a very worthwhile cause too.
 
2nd collection this weekend - Assisted Parishes Fund – the means by which we express solidarity with other parishes who struggle to make ends meet.
 
St Andrew’s Parish would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Kerr most sincerely for all his hard work, dedication and commitment to St Andrew’s Primary during his years as Head teacher. We are deeply appreciative to him particularly for all his great efforts in helping to forge a strong link between school and parish. We wish Mr Kerr every success in his new role as Head teacher of St Paul’s Primary, Whiteinch. The announcement was made last week of the appointment of Mrs Charlotte Grogan as Acting Head teacher of St Andrew’s Primary. We look forward to welcoming Mrs Grogan and we wish her every success and happiness in her new appointment to St Andrew’s Primary.
 
Mass Attendance Census—Each year, on the 2nd Sunday in November, a Mass attendance census is taken in every parish. Here in St Andrew’s, 619 attended last weekend 7/8 Nov. For the same weekend the previous year, 561 attended.
 
Remember the Dead—The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered up every day during the month of November for the Holy Souls. Remembering the souls of the faithful departed, and praying for them is a “holy and wholesome thought.”
 
Open Bethlehem Shot over 10 years, this compelling documentary captures the city of Bethlehem as it has never been seen before. It is an emotional journey of one woman's fight for her hometown and her campaign to compel international action to bring peace to the Middle East.  The film has been viewed worldwide in cinemas, at film festivals and numerous community and religious venues. It will be screened on Wed 25th Nov in St Joseph’s at 7.00 for 7.30 pm. Entry : suggested donation of £5 & free to students and includes pre-screening refreshment.
 
Advent Reflections  As part of our Adult Faith Formation Programme Dr Noel Donnelly, a scripture scholar will give a series of Advent reflections exploring how Mary is portrayed in the New Testament:
26th November Mary the Mother of Jesus in Paul and Mark
3rd December Mary the Mother of Jesus in Mathew
10th December Mary the Mother of Jesus in Luke
17th December Mary the Mother of Jesus in John
The evening will be divided into two sessions with the first half examining Mary’s portrayal and the second half featuring a reflection on the upcoming Sunday Mass scripture readings. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion. Tea and coffee will be served between the two sessions. The sessions will run from 7:00 – 8:30 pm in the Upper Hall and all are welcome.
