SVDP Christmas Appeal—Last year, thanks to your wonderful generosity, more than £3000 was raised and all of this was directed to where we felt it was best needed, to local families, as well as those in Possilpark, Govan, Maryhill and Drumchapel. Last year, we were grateful to Elizabeth and Anne of the Mother and Toddler Group for arranging the wrapped presents, labelled age and gender specific; this was a great help. Hopefully, for the third year, car loads of toys will be sent to many needy families, including very grateful asylum seekers, identified by our friends in Govan and St Laurence’s SVDP in Drumchapel. As well as those who helped, we are particularly grateful to Kay Dick of the Padre Pio Prayer Group and other individual parishioners who responded so generously, and in some cases, significant sums were given to our appeal. We are always looking for new members and, if you could feel you could spare some of your time to support us in our work, then please contact Michael Henry ( 942 1170). Again many thanks for your wonderful support.

Hymn to St Andrew
1. When Christ our Lord to Andrew cried: 2.When Andrew's hour had come, and he
" Come, thou and follow me," was doomed like Christ to die,
the fisher left his net beside he kissed his cross exultingly,
the Sea of Galilee. and this his loving cry:
To teach the truth the master taught, "O noble cross! O precious wood!
to tread the path he trod I long have yearned for thee;
was all is his will, and thus he brought uplift me to my only good
unnumbered souls to God. who died on thee for me."
