Any questions, please call Anne MacIntosh 931 5861 or Annamaria Strachan 942 9799.

Forty Hours Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament 2nd, 3rd & 4th March. It is important that each half hour of adoration is covered by at least two or three adorers. Please think about choosing a half hour for adoration and initial the sheet in the porch. “The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it, but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace”. Blessed John Paul II.

Knights of St Columba The New Evangelisation - A Call to Serve Pope Francis in his New Year address said: "We are all children of one heavenly father, we belong to the same human family and we share a common destiny.  This brings a responsibility for each to work so that the world becomes a community of brothers who respect each other, accept each other in one's diversity, and takes care of one another." The Knights of St Columba offer you that opportunity to be part of a fraternity dedicated to serving God by serving others by working in our communities and parishes, helping young people to grow in their faith and looking after those less fortunate than ourselves. More Catholic men are invited to become more involved ithe Lay Apostolate.  If interested, please contact: Knights of St Columba, 75 Hillington Road South, Glasgow, G52 2AE.  Tel: 883 5700.  Visit www.ksc.org.uk

If you have a little time to spare, you can help by distributing leaflets, holding fundraising events, and raising awareness of the CPO’s work in St Andrew’s Parish.  If interested, email Michael at michael@rcpolitics.org and also mention to Fr Mackle.
