but on every word that comes from 
the mouth of God."

Lent Arrangements—Please note that in connection with RCIA, the Lent Sunday readings will be following the “A” cycle.

Saturdays 10am & Vigil at 6pm.
Stations of the Cross—Thursdays at 7pm (except 28th February).

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion—Are required to assist the priest (and deacon) in the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass.  These ministers are appointed by the Archdiocese, following discussion with the Parish Priest, for a fixed, renewable, term.  If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in becoming an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, then you should contact Fr. Donnelly in the first instance, either to volunteer your services or to nominate someone you think would be appropriate for this parish service.  Service will be at the Mass you normally attend and will usually be no more than once per month.  Training will be given before you first exercise this ministry.  Whilst we would be happy to consider anyone who might be willing to offer this service, we are particularly short at both the 10am and 12noon Masses on Sunday.

Justice and Peace:  Enough Food for Everyone If.. SCIAF and Justice and Peace Scotland are among the groups supporting this major UK wide campaign to focus the G8’s attention on world hunger this year.  In Scotland the campaign also recognises the Scottish government’s proven commitment to international development and urges action to:  increase the Scottish Climate Change Fund, continue promoting Fair Trade, advocate for improved land tenure rights for the poor and international  tax transparency, increase understanding here of the complex causes of hunger and target aid better.  Much more information is on www.enoughfoodif.org/Scotland.
