All who come to him will live forever."
All who come to him will live forever."
Happy Fathers Day to all in the parish. We remember all our fathers, living and dead, at Mass today and ask God’s blessing on them.
Coffee Morning Please come along and join us this Sunday, 17th June after 10am Mass, for the last coffee morning before the holidays. It’s also Father’s Day, so why not treat dad to a well deserved cuppa and some of our delicious home bak- ing. This month we will be raising funds for The Child Bereavement Uk Charity, which supports families and educates professional when a baby or child of any age is dying or when a child is facing bereavement.
Many thanks to all who came along to April’s coffee morning at which the sum of £152.20 was raised for Marie Curie Hospice. A thank you letter from the Charity is displayed on the narthex board together with a thank you letter from the National Autistic Society Scotland. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year and we hope you all have a wonderful summer. Veronica and David Maguire
